They are usually located near natural fast flowing rivers, like Niagara Falls, or man made dams, like the Hoover Dam in the US, or Three Gorges Dam in China. But one thing they have in common is that hydroelectric plants need water to turn turbines to generate electricity.

Turbines are linked to the generators on a common shaft. The turbines are turned by steam (in the case of nuclear, coal, or biomass power plants), by water (in the case of hydroelectric power plants), or by wind (windmills). The turbine then turns the generator, which creates electricity. Think of blowing on a fan. Your "wind" is turning the blades. Now, if that were attached to a generator, you would be creating electricity. (Of course, you'd have to blow REALLY hard...)
Ethanol!
hydroelectric power and geothermal energy is most common.
In common terminology the term alcohol refers to ethanol. However, in chemistry ethanol is only one of many kinds of alcohol. Only ethanol (a.k.a. ethyl alcohol) is used in beverages.
Dams are a very common source of hydroelectric power in BC.
they are both involved with chemistry
