Fossil fuel plants are facilities that generate electricity by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, or oil. These fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, and when burned, they release energy that is converted into electricity. The process involves heating water to create steam, which then drives turbines connected to generators. While fossil fuel plants are a major source of energy worldwide, they also produce greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change and air pollution. Efforts are being made to transition to cleaner energy sources, such as solar and wind power.
