It is a Secondary Energy Source whichmeans that we get it from the conversion of other sources of Energy , like coal, natural gas,oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources. The energysources we use to make ELECTRICITY can be renewable or non-renewable, but ELECTRICITY itselfis neither renewable or is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms ofenergy. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary Source ofmechanical Energy ) that turned water wheels to perform work.
the fuel is burned in a furnace to heat water in a boiler to produce steam. Coal, petroleum (oil), and natural gas are burned in large furnaces to heat water to make steam that in turn pushes on the blades of a turbine.
