Hydro Electric Power
There are many ways to generate electricity. For example, you can use water power. In the picture below, you can see how the water can provide us with energy, and thus, electricity.
In this picture, you can see how one of the basic water generators work. The water flows inside of the entrance of the turbine, spinning the blades. This causes the Turbine Generator Shaft to spin, which in turn, spins the Rotor and Stator. This process makes the energy we use today. But only 7% of this power is used by the grid.
There are some advantages to this way of generating power; It emits no greenhouse gases, and it creates reserves for recreation and reserves.
But, as a coin would have it, there are always two sides. The down sides to this way of generating electricity are as they follow; it disrupts the river and the animal life in there, and it may lead to land flooding. It may also lead to dams breaking, for in the picture below, you can see how the generators are set up

Nuclear Power
Nuclear Power provides us with 20% of our electricity. In the picture below, you can see how a basic nuclear reactor works.
As there are ups, there are downs. Let's start with the ups.
This emits no greenhouse gases. Already a plus. It's one of the cleanest of ways to generate electricity.
And the one with the least material used, gives us the most power. Just a little amount of it can provide hundreds with electricity.
Now, the downsides. There is a danger of a nuclear meltdown, which is what happened at Chernoybl. This is a dangerous thing to occur if one thing goes wrong. And trying to get rid of the excess waste is a danger no

Coal
Coal isn't just for Santa to give you in the holidays if you were bad you know. Coal provides us with 45% of power for electricity, the main contributor to us. We mine the coal and burn it at power plants. In the picture below, you can see how one of these coal generators work.
We place the coal in this tube and burn it inside of this chamber called the Gasifier. The remains move through these tubes, which cool them and cleans them. Then it is reheated, to get every little piece of energy. Then, all the energy it has made is used to spin a generator, which makes it usable. All the unneeded gases and whatnot are thrown out by this exhaust pipe. One it is condensed, it lastly, goes through another generator to put it into electricity. And plus, electric companies would pay good money for any amount of coal. So here is a little way to mess with Santa; Be bad, get coal, sell to electric companies, collect profit!
