One way to capture the sun's energy involves using giant mirrors. In a solar power plant, rows of mirrors focus the sun's rays to heat a tank of molten salt. The heat is used to produce steam, which is used to generate electricity. The salt reaches temperatures of over 1,000 °F (538 °C) which means it retains enough heat to produce electricity all through the night as well.
The water flowing in the river possesses two types of energy:the kinetic energy due to flow of waterpotential energy due to the height of water.In hydroelectric power plants, the kinetic energy of the water is utilized to generate electricity.
Power plants generate electricity and the electricity is used just like any other energy source would be, they power cities and make stuff run
The energy from nuclear power plants is used as heat to boil water and make steam the turns turbines to generate electricity. The electricity is distributed through the power grid and powers all sorts of things from light bulbs, computers, and televisions to heavy equipment.
They can help conserve other fuels which are used to generate energy. They can be used in place of those fuels but they, along with all power plants, generate energy they do not conserve it.
Sure, it is commonly done, in hydroelectric plants. The energy from the falling water is converted into electricity. Please note that it takes energy to get the water up again. This occurs in nature due to the Sun's energy.Sure, it is commonly done, in hydroelectric plants. The energy from the falling water is converted into electricity.

Hydroelectric plants capture the energy of the flowing water and convert it into electricity.
From the thermal energy released by fission of uranium
They generate it by converting mechanical energy to electrical energy using generators inside power plants.
In civil nuclear plants, the heat produced by fission in U-235 is used to generate electricity.
No, solar energy is produced by the sun. We can capture it with solar panels, or solar farms, which are banks of panels or other gadgets to capture the sun's heat and energy. We can then transform this into electricity.
To generate electricity.
green plants
green plants
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
sunlight
Land plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy by converting their light energy to metabolic enrgy or so called chemical energy.
They both generate electricity.
