Thermal electricity is generated by using which of these ?

A Coal only
B Coal and Natural Gas only
C Coal, Natural Gas and Petroleum
D None of these

Correct Answer: Coal, Natural Gas and Petroleum

Traditional thermal power plants: also called combustion power plants, they operate with energy produced by a steam boiler fueled by coal, natural gas, heating oil, as well as by biomass. The steam activates a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator to produce electricity.
