Do power plants burn fossil fuels?

Power plants burn/combust fossil fuel ( coal/oil) to release heat. The heat is used to heat water, in order to create steam. Continued heating puts the steam under pressure. The pressurised steam is passed into a turbine, forcing the turnbine to rotate. The shalt of the turbine is connected to a magnet, which is rotating, because of the turnbines rotation. The rotating magnet is inside a coil of (copper) wire, which induces an electrical current. (electricity). NB In Nuclear power plants, the fusion of atoms in the reactor releases energy/creates heat, which in turn creates pressurised steam , and then the process is the same as above.
