Nearly all energy is derived from the sun, either indirectly or directly, in the form of heat rays and light rays. Electrical energy is derived from the sun indirectly e.g. It can be derived from the power of water falling down a mountainside. Water falls on the earths surface in the form of rain, which is known to be formed by the evaporation of water caused by the heat of the sun. The water vapor rises, condenses on cooling, and falls as rain. The light and heat energy from coal is also derived indirectly from the sun. Coal was formed by the pressure of rocks on vegetation which died millions of years ago. That vegetation grew with the aid of sunlight, from which carbohydrates were formed, thus converting solar energy into chemical energy. When coal is burnt, some of this energy released. Energy is used to drive car engines is derived from petrol, which was also formed with the indirect aid of the sun. Plants and animal were pressed under the rocks in the earth. These dead animal and vegetable remains formed petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained. Thus the sun can be said to be the source of nearly all energy, and that in the absence of the suns heat and light, no life could exist on earth.

Bandung is the capital of West Java, and the country's third largest city, and 2nd largest metropolitan area in Indonesia, with 7.4 million in 2007. Located 768 m (2,520 ft) above sea level, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-around than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies in a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung. The Dutch colonials first opened tea plantations around the mountains in the eighteenth century, followed by a road construction connecting the plantation area to the capital (180 km or 112 miles to the northwest). The European inhabitants of the city demanded the establishment of a municipality which was granted in 1906 and Bandung gradually developed itself into a resort city for the plantation owners. Luxurious hotels, restaurants, cafes and European boutiques were opened of which the city was dubbed as Parijs van Java (Dutch: "The Paris of Java"). After Indonesian independence on 1945 onwards, the city experienced a rapid development and urbanization that has transformed Bandung from idyllic town into a dense 16500 people/km metropolitan area, a living space for over 2 million people. Natural resources have been exploited excessively, particularly in the conversions of protected upland area into highland villa and real estates. Although the city has encountered many problems (ranging from waste disposal, floods to chaotic traffic system, etc.), Bandung however still has its charm to attract people flocking into the city, either as weekend travelers or living in.
