Nuclear power is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to generate power. there are breeder reactors that generate free power by creating fissile material from the normal nuclear waste. so, it does not generate waste
Electricity is most often generated at a power station by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by chemical combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind.
Most of it simply escapes into the atmosphere !
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels have been used to produce the greatest amount of electricity. Following fossil fuels is renewable energies, which some argue, will one day be the biggest source of electricity.
Them most commonly used fuels in UK power stations are fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Nuclear fuels like plutonium and uranium are sometimes used as well.
most of the world is covered in water

A thermal power station comprises all of the equipment and systems required to produce electicity by using a steam generating boiler fired with fossil fuels or biofuels to drive an electrical generator. Such power stations are most usually constructed on a very large scale and designed for continious operation.
They have been the most efficient energy source available
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.

The most common fossil fuels used to power cars are petroleum spirit (petrol / gasoline) and diesel. It could also be argued that electric cars with rechargeable batteries may be powered ultimately by fossil fuels as the electricity they use is generated at a power station which inturn may use a fossil fuel such as coal or natural gas.
fossil fuels can be used as an energy source to power all vehicles and most machinery
Nuclear power is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to generate power. there are breeder reactors that generate free power by creating fissile material from the normal nuclear waste. so, it does not generate waste
I h=think it has become important because it is emitting less carbon dioxide than coal and oil and theses two fuels are the two power station that are used the most .
