No, hydroelectric power is produced from the movement of water spinning a turbine. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce energy by burning.

How efficient is hydroelectric power compared to fossil fuel?

Hydroelectric power is about 90% efficient while fossil fuels are about 60% efficient.


What are the advantages of hydroelectric power over fossil fuel?

whatever you want the advantages to be.


What is one alternative to fossil fuel production of electricity?

Hydroelectric power is an alternative to production of electricity produced by fossil fuels


Is hydroelectric energy a fossil fuel?

No it is its own source of energy


Is hydroelectric fossil fuel?

No, hydroelectricity is a Alternative energy resource.


Why are hydroelectric power and wind power called clean energy?

Because neither burns fossil fuel to create energy, and neither causes pollution.


What relationship does these have solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel and hydroelectric?

These are all sources of energy used to generate electricity. Solar, geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuel, and hydroelectric power plants all produce electricity by harnessing different energy sources such as sunlight, heat from within the Earth, atomic reactions, burning fossil fuels, and utilizing water flow, respectively. Each source has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of availability, environmental impact, and cost.


What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?

Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.


Is the source of hydroelectric power considered fossil fuel?

Hydroelectric is ultimately solar power. The water that powers the dams is brought in from the ocean by solar evaporation that returns to the earth in the form of rain or snow. Aside from the costs (not just money but also environmental) of building dams, hydroelectric power is free for the taking.


What is the results from the use of water to produce electricity?

Water can be used to produce electricity through hydroelectric power plants, which harness the energy of flowing water to generate electricity. This renewable energy source is clean and sustainable, reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel-based power generation. However, the environmental impact of hydroelectric dams on ecosystems and wildlife must also be considered.


Why is hydroelectric source of energy better than fuels for generating electrical energy?

hydroelectric energy is free to the fuel fossil


How does hydroelectric energy move through the system?

Hydroelectric power flows out of the generators and gets stepped up to transmission levels for transportation to the towns and cities where it is consumed. Once the hydroelectric power reaches the transmission system, it joins power provided from fossil fuel, nuclear, wind, and solar power generators on its way to metropolitan areas.
