Fossil fuels is an energy that can be used to power many things like cars and airplanes. Fossil fuels can even be used for roller coasters too!
Production and Distribution
Before the coal is burned, it is crushed to really small bits of powder. It is then 
mixed with hot air and blown into the firebox of the boiler. Burning, the coal and air mixture gives the most heat . really fresh clean water is pumped through pipes inside the boiler is turned into steam by the heat. The steam reaches to temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees it pressures up to 3,500 pounds and it goes into the turbine. The big pressure of the steam pushing into a lot of giant turbine blades.
Heat is created
- Before the coal is burned it is crushed to the small bits of powder. It is then mixed with hot air and blown into the firebox of the boiler. Burning in the coal and air mixture gives the most complete and large amount of heat as possible.
Water turns to steam
- Highly clean water, pumped through pipes inside the boiler, is turned into steam by the heat. The steam reaches temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees. Pressures up to 3,500 pounds per square inch, and is piped to the turbine.
Steam turns the turbine
- The big pressure of the steam pushing against a giant turbine blades turns the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft is connected to the shaft of the generator.
Steam turns back into water
After doing its work in the turbine, the steam is goes into a condenser, a large chamber in the basement of the power plant. In this important step, millions of gallons of cool water from a nearby source (like lakes or rivers) are pumped through a network of tubes running through the condenser. The cool water in the tubes turns the steam back into water that can be used over and over again in the plant.

Environmental Impact
Fossil fuels can be an environmental impact and some are including dust, noise and water pollution. Dust is an environmental impact because when you’re coal mining dust can get in different places like your eyes. Noises can get people mad because most noises can be really really loud. Last water pollution this can really bad for plants that are in the water and also fish can die from water pollution and destroy fish homes too.
In conclusion fossil fuels can power many things those many things are vehicles. Fossil fuels are not a renewable energy source.
