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.

Nuclear energy is our most concentrated form of energy. In other words, we get the most useable energy from smaller amounts of nuclear energy sources. Examples of Nuclear Energy: 1. A fission reaction at a nuclear power plant provides enough energy to give electricity to large cities.2. The fusion reaction in the sun provides our planet with all of the energy it needs for living organisms to survive. 3. An uncontrolled fission reaction provides the destructive force of a nuclear bomb.uclear energy is energy that is stored within the nucleus of atoms. The only way for this energy to be released is through the splitting of or joining of atomic nuclei.
