Since you are burning a fuel it is possible that there is a net power surplus.

Almost all conversions (fuel to power) involve some kind of net loss. It takes a pretty large surplus to overcome these efficiency losses.

I agree...obviously it's not easy, but it can happen. Just look at the internal cubustion engine.
