Fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas are placed in a large couldren pot and heated. Pipes above shoot water past the burning fossil fuels, heating up as it passes. This condensated water called steam continues its journey past a turbine, spinning the generator which generates the electricity. Powerlines sent the electricity to homes, schools and other buildings strait away. This method is simple and we know it works. The disadvantages of this are that fossil fuels are running out and are non renewable as coals and gases take thousands of years to make. The excess heat is producing harmful gases that are contributing to global warming. Hope this helps
