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

With my extremely limited understanding of physics and chemistry, I don't believe so.

sure it’s possible. They are burning something.

Think of a auto engine. It burns gasoline ignited by a spark that is started by a battery that is charged by the engine.

Same thing applies here. The key is how much energy does this produce and how much does it take to get that energy.
