How a coal burning power stations works?
Coal is burned to make heat, and the heat is used to boil water, which produces steam, and the steam pressure is used to rotate a steam turbine, and the rotating turbine is used to generate electricity.
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
yes
Which resources do coal power stations use?
Coal power stations use many different resources as a steam kettle, electrity and turbines.
What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?
Sulfur Dioxide is given off by coal-burning power plants
What can a burning coal do for a power palnt?
burning coal releases heat, and that heat turns a turbine, which generates electricity.
Why are there so many coal burning power stations in UK?

Plant that burns waste to produce electricity?
Biomass power stations. (Regular power stations that burn coal can easily be converted to burning biomass (vegetation), reducing pollution, just by changing the fuel.)
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
yes
What is a Pollutant which may be produced by large amounts of sulfur dioxide from coal burning power stations?
copper or nickel or platinum etc etc
Why is it not advisable to build more coal power stations?
it is not advisable because the coal will finish more faster and once the coal is finished the power stations will go to waste
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
Why you should carry on using coal power stations?
We should carry on using coal power stations because we can make them eco-friendly.
Which resources do coal power stations use?
Coal power stations use many different resources as a steam kettle, electrity and turbines.
What spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant?
Steam spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant.
How is most of the electricity in the US produce?
The biggest source by far is still from coal burning power stations, other large sources are natural gas, nuclear, and hydro power
Why is it many electrical power stations use oil?
Oil is not too expensive, especially when you can increase the price of electricity to cover it. Oil is easily transported, and it is also simple to convert a coal burning power station into an oil burning power station.
