Best Answer

In simple terms: The primary energy resource (coal, oil, gas, uranium, solar, etc..) is used to produce lots of heat which converts water into steam containing very high heat energy. The steam is passed through turbines which causes them to turn, producing mechanical energy from the heat energy that is lost as as the steam changes back into water. The turning tubines drive the generators to produce electricity.
