Power stations do contribute to global warming, as the more electricity we use the more global warming will develop to the earth. And gradual the earth will be destroyed because of us humans.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, emitted by cars and vehicles and power stations.
Yes. Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. If nobody in the world wasted electricity, we could stop building so many coal fired power stations (and slow global warming).
Pollution and global warming in Russia can be fixed by:closing down all fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants. These emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.building renewable energy stations (solar, wind, tidal, geothermal etc) all over Russia to generate electricity.
No, hydro power is renewable energy, which has no carbon dioxide emissions.

because of global warming
Power stations contribute to global warming if they use fossil fuels (coal, oil or natural gas) to generate their electricity. Burning fossil fuels is recognised as one of the two main causes of global warming (the other is deforestation). Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is accumulating in the atmosphere and causing global warming.
all you have to do is shut down all power stations

Hydrogen power could save us from global warming. If we could find an easy and cheap way to obtain it from water (H2O), then hydrogen is a pure and green fuel with no emissions except water vapor. Water vapour remains in the atmosphere for only a short time, as it soon builds into clouds and falls as rain, so it would not contribute to global warming the way carbon dioxide is. Cars and industry could run on hydrogen, as could electricity power stations.
Get your government to make the switch from coal-fired electricity power stations to solar and wind farms. Plant billions of trees all around the world. If we stop burning oil and coal tomorrow, that will stop global warming.
The higher the fossil power plant efficiency the less input fossil fuel burning and hence the less green house gas emissions and accordingly the less global warming.

Global Warming
Yes, every bit of electricity you use adds to global warming, unless it comes from renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, etc). Standby devices are estimated to be 10% of your power bill. So turning your gadgets off at the wall will lower your power bills, but won't do much to stop global warming (unless everyone in the world is doing the same). The best way to fix global warming is to elect governments with the will to act.
