Natural gas is a fossil fuel. Like oil and coal, this means that it is, essentially, the remains of plants and animals and microorganisms that lived millions and millions of years ago. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, natural gas was used primarily for street and building lighting, providing what was known as gaslight. Today, improved distribution of gas has made possible a wide variety of uses in homes, businesses, factories, and power plants. The U.S. Energy Information Administration

Nuclear Notes Nuclear energy is a way of creating heat through the fission process of atoms. All power plants change heat into electricity by using steam. The heat that produces the steam is created by fission, which occurs when atoms split apart. This process also creates energy in the form of heat. The neutrons that are released repeats the process making more nuclear energy. This process is called a chain reaction. The heat from the fission boils the water and creates steam to turn a turbine
