Most common are oil-powered thermal power stations; there are also some coal-powered and nuclear-powered stations (Mexico has two nuclear reactors worth 1.4 GW). There are also geothermal power plants and hydroelectric plants. Wind and solar power are growing in importance, but are still uncommon.
less than 50 commercial power stations of more than 1 MW.
Usually, at power plants all over the place. Although some people may have their own (portable) generators powered by combustion engines to provide electricity.
oil and gasoline can flow through pipes.
Yes. There are many power stations that use natural gas to heat water to steam and then turn turbines to generate electricity. These are considered more environmentally friendly than oil or coal powered plants.
Oil and Coal.
Yes,once its used as much oil and coal power station
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
Oil is not too expensive, especially when you can increase the price of electricity to cover it. Oil is easily transported, and it is also simple to convert a coal burning power station into an oil burning power station.
Coal, natural gas, and nuclear mostly, very little oil now. Also some wind power.
Crude oil, natural gas, Wind turbines and water powered turbines, coal and coal oil power plants, solar energy etc.
