I'll assume you mean operate a generator, and one of the big sources is wind
Coal is the most used source for electricity in the US. World wide, other countries, I don't know.
Wind, water, solar and other renewable sources of power can all be harnessed to generate electricity.
The Sun is the primary source of almost all energy on Earth. Solar energy is harnessed through various technologies such as solar panels to generate electricity, heat water, and power countless other applications.
A source of power refers to where energy is derived from to generate electricity or perform work. This includes sources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro), nuclear power, and other forms of energy.
A windmill operates by harnessing the power of the wind to generate mechanical energy, typically through the rotation of blades on a rotor. As the blades turn, they spin a shaft connected to a generator, which then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electricity can be used to power homes, businesses, or other appliances.
Energy can not be created or destroyed. Therefore, to "generate energy" you need some other kind of energy - you convert one type of energy into another.
Solar power is an alternative energy source that harnesses the power of the sun by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels or solar cells. This renewable energy source is clean, abundant, and can be used to generate electricity for homes, businesses, and other applications.
The sun is our principal source of energy. Solar radiation provides light and heat energy that powers various natural processes on Earth, such as photosynthesis in plants and the water cycle. This energy is harnessed through solar panels to generate electricity and other forms of renewable energy.
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy resource that utilizes heat from the Earth's core to generate power. This energy source is harnessed through geothermal power plants and has the potential to provide a continuous and reliable source of electricity.
We generate electricity from other forms of energy. Such as wind, sun, ect...
Wind energy is used to generate electricity by harnessing the power of wind to turn turbines. As the turbines spin, they generate electricity that can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices. Wind energy is a renewable source of energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Nuclear Energy generates a lot of energy rather than other Power Plants. One gram of uranium equals to 60 thousand tons of coal, and the energy it produce, so it is much more green (Despite the main disadvantage: explosion). The air is not as polluted as it would be with the coal. Because of the high levels of energy generation, energy cost is cheaper.
