In the U.S., the main way we turn turbines is through the generation of electricity from fossil fuels, particularly natural gas and coal, which produce steam to drive steam turbines. Additionally, renewable energy sources, such as wind and hydroelectric power, also play a significant role; wind turbines are driven by wind, while hydroelectric turbines are turned by flowing water. Collectively, these methods contribute to the country's energy mix, with a growing emphasis on reducing reliance on fossil fuels in favor of cleaner alternatives.
What else can I help you with?
How many windmills are in the US?
In America there are more than 70,000 wind turbines that will supply 2.5 percent ofAmerica's electricity.
What were the two main sections of the US in the early 1800?
The North and the South were the two main sections of the US in the early 1800s up to the point of the Civil War.
What is the main use for coal in the US?
Production of electricity is the main use of coal in the United States.
What was US main rival during the cold war?
The U.S.S.R.
What was Hawaii's main export to the us?
nuts n coffee
How can a river give us electrical energy?
A river can give us electrical energy through hydropower, where the movement of the water is used to turn turbines, which then generate electricity. This process, known as hydroelectric power generation, is a renewable and sustainable way to produce electricity without emitting greenhouse gases.
What are urban turbines and how do they affect us?
by the wind
How did the navy use nuclear power?
The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.
Are there places outside of the us that are using wind turbines?
Yes. The island of Hawaii use wind turbines, such as Maui and Oahu .
How many wind turbines needed to power us?
About 1 million wind turbines would be needed to power the entire United States.
What part of the body helps you turn your head?
Our neck helps us turn our head.But inside the neck the main part is spinal chord.
Why do you need wind turbines?
we need wind turbines because they give us energy i dont know really i am just so bored :P
Why does fossil fuels and nuclear plants heat water?
The useful energy we get from fossil fuels and nuclear plants is heat. and heating water to make steam is about the most direct way to capture that thermal energy. Steam is used to spin turbines to turn electric power generators, and that allows us to harness the energy.
Where do you find wind energy in the US?
Where ever wind turbines have been setup.
What is the second largest source of energy in the us?
Wind turbines and solar pans
What is the largest source of energy used in the US?
Wind turbines and solar pans
Does the US government offer grants for wind turbines for home?
The US government does offer grants for wind turbines for the home as well as other forms of alternative renewable energy, however, these grants are based on the state that you live in.
