What is the source of electricity on board the space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle uses fuel cells to produce electricity. The hydrogen (H2) is burned with the oxygen (O2) to produce clean water (H2O). The heat is used to produce the electricity. The fresh water is then used by the crew or transfered to the International Space Station for drinking and showering. The Apollo Service Modules used a similar system for power and water.
