The Sun. Most of the energy we capture for use on Earth originates in the nuclear reactions powering our Sun. Coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and even the wind and hydropower we harness to generate electricity, originally derive their energy content from the Sun. Learn how our local star is the ultimate energy source.ost of the energy we capture for use on Earth originates in the nuclear reactions powering our Sun. Coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and even the wind and hydropower we harness to generate electricity, originally derive their energy content from the Sun.
All of these different sources of energy add to the store of electrical power that is then sent out to different locations via high powered lines. Here is an overview of each of the different sources of energy that are in use, and whatâs the potential issue for each of them. 1. Solar Energy. Solar power harvests the energy of the sun through using collector panels to create conditions that can then be turned into a kind of power.
