Almost all of the electricity that people use is produced by

Almost all the electricity used by people is produced by the 3 forms of power plants, namely fossil, hydro, and nuclear. Fossil fuel power plants burn carbon fuels such coal, oil or gas to generate steam that drives large turbines to produce electricity. Hydro power plants generate electricity by storing water in big reservoirs behind large dams. Water from the dams flows through turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the heat produced by nuclear fission to generate steam that drives turbines, like in fossil fuel plants.
