          Eh most energy on earth can find it’s source from a star or supernova, so close enough for me. Even ice cars are solar powered.

            I mean if you want to get right down to it, literally everything that does work is solar-powered.

        While they can it’s unlikely, not all burning of stuff is an explosion, and not all electricity is made with burning stuff.

        If you are charging up your Tesla with a generator, maybe, but where fossil fuels are burned in powerplants it’s incredibly unlikely that it’s an explosion in an internal combustion engine. Generally it’s a big fire that heats water to steam.
