How is most of the electricity in the US produce?
Most of the electricity in the US is produced by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil in power plants. Nuclear power and renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power also contribute to the electricity generation mix.
What US state uses the most nuclear electric power?
Probably Illinois, it has the most stations
How does the US get most of their energy?
The US gets most of its energy from oil, natural gas, and coal. These fossil fuels are used to generate electricity, power vehicles, and heat homes and buildings. Renewables like hydroelectric, wind, and solar power are also increasingly contributing to the energy mix.
How do power lines give us electricity?
Power lines carry electricity from power plants to homes and businesses. The electricity is generated at the power plant and then sent through the power lines to reach different locations where it is needed, providing energy to power various devices and appliances.
How much of nuclear power do you use in the US?
In the US, nuclear power provides about 20% of the total electricity generation, making it the largest source of low-carbon electricity. There are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states.
Where in the US is coal used?
Coal is used all over the US in power stations to generate electricity.
What gives us electricity?
Power stations, which can either be coal, gas, nuclear powered. Green power such as wind, wave and solar power can also be harnessed to generate electricity.
How much eletricity do coal power stations produce?
In the US, 49 percent of total production of electricity
What is the name of the North Island river in New Zealand that has numerous dams and land power stations to provide us with electricity?
Along the length of the Waikato River in the North island are a number of hydro electric stations, geothermal power stations, and the river is used as coolant for the Huntly coal-fired power station.

How do power stations contribute to global warming?
Power stations contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity, releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to the Earth's temperature rising and causing climate change.
Are power stations bad or good?
In some ways, power stations can be really useful. They can give electricity to thousands and thousands of people. They are a tonne better than wind farms because they generate more electricity, are quite quiet and are way smaller so the can be hidden by other objects (e.g: trees...). The power stations don't actually pollute the air as much as we think they do, the only thing that comes out of the chimneys is clean steam, (this only means when the steam cools it will transform into rain (not too good for us though)). However, there is a slight downside to this. The only way the power stations can make steam is to use coal which is one of our fossil fuels-which are running out very quickly-so we can't really say that power stations are perfect.
What US state uses the most nuclear electric power?
Probably Illinois, it has the most stations
What is solar power mainly used for?
to power our homes and give us electricity :)
Do you buy power from coal mines?
The coal mines dig up the coal from under the earth. The coal is then sold to whoever wants it. Some industries use coal for power. Coal-fired power stations are a huge buyer of coal. They burn the coal to heat water and use the steam to turn turbines which produce electricity. This electricity is then passed on to Energy Companies who sell the power to us.

Was 1920 the first time electricity used in homes in US?
No, by the end of the 1880s, small electrical stations were provding electricity to a few city blocks in a number of U.S. cities.
