Many factors are influencing location of a thermal power plants. Main factors are:

  • how close to cooling water from river, ocean, sea, etc..
  • site safety against earthquakes and floods (especially for nuclear power plants)
  • how close to harbours or transport means if it coal power plant and the coal is imported from outside the country.
  • its proximity from heavy population centers, especially for coal plants due to aircontamination.

What are the factors affecting the location of the thermal power stations?

The factors affecting the location of the (nuclear) thermal power stations are partially location in relationship to the grid, and mostly location in relationhip to the heatsink. An enormous amout of energy is generated by the nuclear reaction - in fact the typical efficiency of the nuclear to electric power production cycle is only 33% - and that excess energy must be dissipated. There is also the factor of the population density, in that the design of the emergency/evacuation planning zone needs to consider the amount of people needed to be evacuated in the event of a large nuclear incident, should that occur.

Does thermal energy run on gasoline?

Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.
