I personally live in the Canadian province of Ontario, where approximately one third of our electric power is generated by means of hydroelectricity (at Niagara falls). I have no idea where you got the idea that this is not a commonly used method of electric generation. It is quite common in many countries.
What else can I help you with?
How is hydroelectricity being used?
Hydroelectricity is used in larger cities to generate electricity. Water flowing over a dam is heated and then the steam generated turns giant turbines that produce electricity for whole cities.
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
What are the common uses of hydroelectricity?
hydroelectricity is used to create electricity.
What force is used to generate hydroelectricity?
Hydroelectricity is generated by the force of flowing or falling water, typically from a dam or a waterfall. This force is used to turn turbines connected to generators, converting the kinetic energy of the water into electricity.
What could hydroelectricity be used for?
everything that uses electricity. hydroelectricity is the same thing as fossilfuel electricity...its just made differently
What elements are commonly used to generate electricity from nuclear energy?
Uranium or Thorium.
What else besides electricity is hydroelectricity be used for?
for rivers in Jamaica that can be used for hydro electricity
How is hydroelectricity applied?
it is used to provide energy or electricity.
Is the aswan high dam used to generate electricity?
Yes, the Aswan High Dam is primarily used to generate electricity. It harnesses the power of the Nile River to produce hydroelectricity, which is a significant source of energy for Egypt. Additionally, the dam helps with irrigation, flood control, and water storage.
Why water wheels are not used to generate electricity?
Water wheels are not as commonly used to generate electricity as they were in the past due to limitations in efficiency and scalability. Modern hydropower technology, such as turbines, is more efficient and can generate larger amounts of electricity. Additionally, water wheels are limited in their ability to generate power in variable flow conditions.
What fuel is used the most to generate electricity?
The coal is used mostly to generate electricity.
What energy resource is most commonly used to make electricity in US?
Coal. Coal fired plant generate the bulk of IS electricity making.
