Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
The traditional solar electric panels that people generally think of don't use heat to generate electricity. A concentrating solar collector, on the other hand, does use heat to generate electricity. It focuses the sun's heat onto a tube containing a fluid like oil. That fluid gets extremely hot and generates steam. The steam in turn turns a turbine to generate electricity. These are not generally used for residential systems, they are very effective in commercial scale systems.
You can heat things (for example, use a solar system to heat water, and use it to take a shower - or use a solar cooker to cook food), and you can generate electricity from the Sun's energy.
Sunlight is a renewable resource because we can use it to generate electricity without using it up.

Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
Thermonuclear plants are power stations. They use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat. This boils water to generate steam, which turns the turbines to generate electricity.

Yes most power stations do use heat to generate electricity. Heat energy of the fuel (e.g. burning coal, burning oil, nuclear fission) is utilized to heat water present in the boiler. This heating generates steam, which is then utilized to run the turbine. However some power stations get the energy to generate electricity without using heat (e.g. hydroelectric dams, wind power, sea wave power, solar cell generation systems).
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.

1. Heat: you can use the sun's heat for heating your home, cooking, drying clothes, and for hot water. 2. Power: you can generate electricity with solar panels.
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.
let the geothernal energy to boil the water, then use the stream to generate the electricity. it is the same way when you use coal generate the electricity. but the detail system is very complicated.
The only similarity is that they are both used to generate electricity through use of heat engines.
