Tutorial: Electricity Generation
Turn on your computer or flip on a light switch and you get electricity. Where does that electricity come from? Ultimately, it can be traced back to a power plant. If your local power plant uses any of the fossil fuels for electricity generation (and almost all of them do in the U.S.), then they do so by burning one of those fuels. This presentation goes over how burning a fossil fuel results in the generation of electricity. Watch the presentation for more information.
