Why were power stations built?
To produce electricity
Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
How many nuclear power plants is China building?
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
When were power stations invented?
someone please answer this question? :/
When was the first power plant built and where?
The first power plant was built in Bavarian in 1878
Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?
They are not, Torness, Hartlepool, Sizewell are on the East coast and Dungeness is on the south coast
Why do you think most research stations built near the coast?
not a clue
Why were power stations built?

Is hydro power off the coast or on the land?
Yes. Hydro power stations are in the middle of countries
Why are power stations often built beside rivers or the sea?
hydropower
Why are there few hydroelectric power stations in UK?
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
Why are so many power stations located on the coast?
Power stations need to use water for cooling. Lakes, rivers and coastal areas are a ready source of water.
Why are research stations built near the coast?
Most research stations are built near the coast, simply because of access. It's easier to transport supplies for building and maintaining the station from ships than it is from other modes of transport. The interior of Antarctica is home to several research stations. Vostok Station was built and is maintained by the Russian expeditions that drive over the ice from Mirny or Progress, both of which research stations are located on the coast. The South Pole Station, a US research station, is served by irregular air transport, based on the vagaries of weather in both the point of origin and at the pole.

Why is the control gate built near the dam in hydroelectric power stations?
for the passage of flood discharge
How many nuclear power plants is China building?
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
Can you use salt water in coal powered electricity stations?
Yes - some power stations located on the coast use sea water to cool the condensers. Examples of this include:Gladstone Power Station in Queensland, AustraliaKoeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa
