The majority of electricity is generated from fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas. Fossil fuels need to be replaced by other sources as the resources we rely on are becoming more scarce.
Increasingly, renewable energy sources are being used such as wind, solar, hydro-electric, tidal but these represent a small percentage of the total generation.
Nuclear power has had its share of problems but in the twenty first century, it is making a comeback. Better controlled and safer than early nuclear power stations, new stations are being constructed.
windmills are generated by windand are used to generate electricity. Nowadays, electricity are generated by dams which are very harmful for the natural resources .
Coal is the most used source for electricity in the US. World wide, other countries, I don't know.
Whether the electricity is generated by conventional power stations, or hydroelectric power generation, the electricity used in homes and businesses will still be the same, and used the same.
The same things all other electricity is used for. Home use ... lighting, heating, etc. Business/ industry uses, electrolysis of (purification of) metal ores, welding, lighting, heating, computers, anything you can think of.Precisely the same as the uses of electricity.Same as for any electricity. The hydro bit is to do with how it is made. After that it is just like any other electricity.Hydroelectric energy is electricity produced from the power of water being pulled by gravity through turbines. It is just electricity. It is no different from electricity produced by any other means.It is used just like normal energy, to power homes, industries, streetlamps, the computer you're using etc.Use of flowing water to create electricity is called hydroelectric energy. The most common type of hydroelectric plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a pipe and into a turbine, which spins to drive a generator, producing electricity.Pumped storage plants use a two-reservoir system, pumping water from a river or a reservoir to a higher reservoir when electricity prices are low during the night. When the value of electricity on the grid is higher during the day, water is released from the upper reservoir, spinning the turbines to produce electricity.it is used to light our homes ,industries etcYou use hydroelectric energy to get electricity from moving water. the hydroelectric power plant is mostly located at a river that's on a slope. then, they make a dam, which is the power plant.powering lights houses and other things.In other words hydroelectric stuff powers electricityIn most countries it just goes into the electricity distribution network, so it is not possible to say. There may be some isolated places that only have hydro power, but in any case it is used for all the usual things we use electricity forit it used to power many places like homes and businesses.Hydroelectric power is a specific type of electrical power that is generated through using water (typically falling water) to turn a turbine that spins turbines that generate electricity. The electricity is used in the same fashion as all other electricity generated from burning fossil fuels or from solar panels is used - to power electric appliances from refrigerators to cell phones.
Hydroelectricity is generated by converting the kinetic energy of flowing water into electrical energy. Water from a reservoir is released through turbines, which spin and drive generators to produce electricity. The generated electricity is then transformed and distributed through power lines, but the term "refined" typically does not apply to hydroelectricity in the same way it does to fossil fuels or raw materials. Instead, the focus is on the efficiency of energy conversion and the infrastructure used for generation and distribution.
Renewable energy is energy, usually electricity, generated from wind, solar, water, geothermal and other renewable resources. The electricity is used to power businesses, machinery and appliances in most countries round the world.
windmills are generated by windand are used to generate electricity. Nowadays, electricity are generated by dams which are very harmful for the natural resources .
true
Electricity and oil. :)

After steam has been used to generate electricity in a power plant, it is condensed back into water. This condensed water is then returned to the boiler to be heated again and turned back into steam, creating a continuous cycle of generating electricity.
Only if the electricity used to power it is generated by hydroelectricity
Depending on exactly what you are asking, most spacecraft and roving vehicles run on electricity and/or electric motors. The capsules generated electricity via fuel cell and the rover used batteries.
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
Electrical energy is mostly generated at the same time as it is used, in other words, all the time 24/7/365. Electricity for powering our homes is generated in power stations.
Volt Metre is the apparatus used to detect the electricity generated. Moving a magnet in or around coil of enamelled copper wire or vice versa will generate electricity. The electricity generated can be detected, by connecting the ends of wires of coil to a Volt Metre. The Voltage generated proportional to the speed of movement and strength of the magnet, and the number of turns of the coil.
