Why does electrical energy from the fossil fuel power stations originally came from the Sun?
Oil and natural gas was created from the remains of microscopic organisms that lived in Earth's oceans millions of years ago. Heat and pressure gradually turned these ancient organisms into oil and natural gas. Coal was formed by a similar process from the remains of ancient plants that once lived on land.

How much more expensive is solar energy than fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel power stations typically cost about $2.1 dollars per watt to build solar stations around $7 at present. The efficiency is increasing and costs are falling. This of course does not represent the cost to the consumer. In addition it does not take into account all the various other costs and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Fuel (fossil stations), poor sunlight (solar stations). Maintenance costs are similar for single plants but solar stations do not have the capacity of fossil fuel stations.
How do we get electrical energy?
Electrical energy is generated through various methods such as burning fossil fuels, utilizing renewable sources like solar or wind power, and harnessing nuclear energy. These processes involve converting mechanical, chemical, or thermal energy into electrical energy through generators or other technologies.
What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
Fossil fuels transform chemical energy into other forms of energy?
Yes, fossil fuels contain stored chemical energy which is released through combustion to generate heat energy. This heat energy is then typically converted into mechanical energy, such as in a car engine, or into electrical energy in power plants.
Why is fossil fuel burned in a power station?
Fossil fuels are burned in power stations because they are a concentrated source of energy that can be easily converted into electricity. The combustion of fossil fuels releases heat energy, which is used to boil water and produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, generating electricity.
What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
What is the source of power for turbines in electrical power stations?
Turbines are driven by steam so it is thermodynamic energy, but that can be created by burning fossil fuels or by nuclear fission
What did fossil fuels get their energy originally from?
The sun.
Which fossil fuel is not used in Singapore's power stations?
It is coal. Singapore's power stations are not based on coal fossil fuel.Singapore has no indigenous energy resources, and is dependent on energy imports to support her overall energy needs.
What is the chemical energy in fossil fuels often converted into?
electrical energy....
Is fossil fuels a resource of inexhaustible solar energy?
Fossil fuel energy is from the sun originally that is true. But they are certainly not inexhaustible.
Fossil fuels actually got their energy originally from what?
bones
How are fossil fuels used in power stations?
They are burned to create energy like electricity.
Are fossil fuels stored solar energy?
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
Is it true that power plant that uses fossil fuels transforms chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Yes it is true that a power plant that uses fossil fuels transforms chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
Fossil fuels contains energy that originally came from?
the sun:-)
How many fossil fuel factories are there in America?
There are about 5,800 fossil fuel power stations in the US. (Information the the US Energy Commission).
