Electricity is generated by turning a turbine. There are many ways to power the turning of the turbine, including: 1) hydroelectric power (water flowing down by gravity via dams or other restrictions can turn turn turbines) 2) burning fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) 3) nuclear power 4) wind 5) generating steam to turn the turbine (geothermal steam, or by burning fossil fuels or organics like wood or chemicals).

Why is electricity commonly used as a source of energy in urban areas?
Because - in some poorer countries, there is no 'mains' supply - meaning that people need to generate their electricity by other means.
Which 2 countries rely on nuclear energy to generate electricity?
Two countries that rely heavily on nuclear energy to generate electricity are France and the United States. In France, nearly 70% of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power, making it one of the most nuclear-dependent countries in the world. In the United States, nuclear energy accounts for about 20% of the total electricity generated and is the largest source of clean energy in the country.
What do windmills generate?
They generate electricity produced by wind.
