Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.

Why do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Power plants like Thermal Power Plant burn fossil fuels to heat water and then water turn into steam that creates enough pressure to run the turbines.Turbines rotate and electricity is formed.
Nuclear power plants can produce energy more cheaply and with less pollution them plants that use fossil fuels why are there not more nuclear power plants dad plants that burn fossil fuels?
The problem of disposing large amounts of nuclear waste is not resolved.
What is the difference in how heat is obtained in geothermal power plant and fossil fueled power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from the earth, meaning getting heat from magma within the earth, whereas fossil fueled power plants burn fossil fuels, like oil turned into gas.
What led humans to burn more fossil fuels?
Energy led human to burn more fossil fuels
How does using lights less help stop air pollution?
Using lights less uses less electricity. Most of the electricity that powers lights comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to air pollution.

What fossil fuels do we burn in power stations?
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
Where do you use fossil fuels?
As fuel for power plants. vehicle engines, coal power plants, oil for heating, etc. It's all fossil fuels. burn them to get heat and use the heat to make energy in some fashion, basically.
What remains of plants and animals now burn to produce heat?
when plants and animals die they change into fossil fuels. and they use fossil fuels to burn and make heat. I'm very sure
How is fossil fuels used to produce energy?
when we burn fossil fuels such as oil,gas and coal we produce heat.This can be used to fuel power plants which is where most of our energy for electronic devices and heating are funded
What are good things about hydroelectric power?
they don't burn fossil fuels
What is the difference in how heat is obtained in geothermal power plant and fossil fueled power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from the earth, meaning getting heat from magma within the earth, whereas fossil fueled power plants burn fossil fuels, like oil turned into gas.
What are three advantages of nuclear power plants compared with power plants that burn fossil fuels?
Nuclear power plants don't emit greenhouse gases, need little fuel to generate a lot of power, and can produce electricity continuously.
How do you get energy from fossil fuels?
Burn them - the heat can then be used to power things.
What are an advantige and disadvantige of energy reasourse for fossil fuels?
A disadvantage of fossil fuels is that when you burn them to create energy, it pollutes the air. An advantage of fossil fuels is that we use them to power cars and many other things.
How can sulphur impurities be dealt with in fossil fuels?
Burn less fossil fuels
