does the energy from a power plant originally come from the sun?
kcguy13@prodigy.net asked:
At the T. B. Simon power plant, burning coal produces steam in a boiler, the steam flows through turbines, the rotating turbines drive electric generators, the generators deliver alternating current to the transformer station, and the transformers provide emf to the campus electric grid. Thus electric power is available throughout the MSU campus.

Therefore the energy that powers electrical devices at MSU came originally from the sun. Explain this statement in a short essay, and include the answer to these questions: How did the energy come from the sun? When did the energy come from the sun?
Yes, except nuclear plants.
The sun as hint remember that coal and oil are called fossil fuels.
