I know that a power plant burning coal originally gets its energy from the sun, but How did the energy come from the sun? When did the energy come from the sun?

    Coal consists of the remains of dead plants. Those plants, when alive, derived their energy form the sun by a process called photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy, which drives reactions converting carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and starches and sugars. These are the substances which are ultimately burned in the coal to provide the heat which drives the power plant.

    YES, except in case of nuclear power stations.
