China mainly use non-renewable sources of energy such as coal. However, they are acknowledging and trying to increase the use of renewable sources of energy. The largest source of renewable energy is hydroelectric power from dams such as the Three Gorges Dams.

Lack of energy is starting to become a exponential problem in China, and in cities such as Shanghai, certain factories are only allowed to operate during night time so there will enough electricity during the day time.

Where is nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants, where nuclear reactions generate heat to produce electricity. This form of energy is used to generate about 10% of the world's electricity, with countries such as the United States, France, and China having significant nuclear energy capacity.


What is the most common source of energy used to produce electricity?

The most common source of energy used to produce electricity is fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and oil. These fuels are burned to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity.


How can electricity be used to generate more electricity?

Electricity can be used to generate more electricity through a process called electrical generation. This involves using a power source, such as a turbine or solar panels, to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. This newly generated electricity can then be used to power more devices or be fed back into the grid for distribution.


What do you need to generate electricity?

To generate electricity, you need a source of energy such as fossil fuels, renewable resources like wind or solar, or nuclear reactions. This energy is used to rotate turbines connected to a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Transformers then increase the voltage of the electricity generated for efficient transmission and distribution.


Is the tide used to make electricity?

Yes, the tide can be used to generate electricity through tidal energy systems. These systems harness the kinetic energy of the moving water to turn turbines and generate electricity, similar to how hydroelectric systems generate power from flowing water.

What is geothermal energy used to?

It is use to generate electricity from below earth's surface!!!!! Its an inexhaustible energy source that uses hot magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity.


Can a dynamo be used to generate electricity?

Yes. Because a dynamo converts rotational energy into electricity.


What is the advantages of incineration?

They produce energy that can be used in homes to generate electricity


Why does the splitting generate electricity?

If you mean nuclear fission, then this does not generate electricity directly. The energy released is essentially light/heat energy and this is used to heat water to produce steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines/generators to produce the electricity.


How many years do you have until electricity runs out?

electricity can never run out only the energy used to generate it


Is coal used to produce energy or electricity?

Electricty is a form of energy. Coal can be used as fuel for a power plant to generate electricity, among other things.


Does electrical energy pollute?

It depends on what fuel or power is used to generate the electricity .


What elements are commonly used to generate electricity from nuclear energy?

Uranium or Thorium.


Why does China use uranium?

China uses uranium as a fuel source in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. Uranium undergoes nuclear fission in a controlled manner, releasing energy that is used to produce electricity. China has been expanding its nuclear energy capacity to meet growing energy demands and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
