In a typical electric power plant, the thermal energy produced by burning fuel is used to boil water or making steam. The mechanical energy of the steam then turns a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator, which consists of powerful magnets surrounded by coils of copper wire. As the magnets turn inside the wire coil, and electric current is produced, This current flows through power lines to homes and industries.

(Hopefully dis answers your question. I am not certain if this is right though.)

What do green plants need to release energy from food?

Green plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide in order to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This glucose is then used by the plants as a source of energy to carry out various cellular processes.
