Understanding how fossil fuel power stations generate electricity is important if we are to have productive discussion about this at both the personal and governmental levels.

Efficiency is very important in the case of fossil fuel power stations because fossil fuels are a finite resource — once we use them they are gone, and when burned they produce carbon dioxide and other substances that kill people and cause climate change and ocean acidification; so it is very important to get as much electricity as we possibly can per tonne of fossil fuel.

A typical ratio of «useful work» (electricity generated) to «heat taken in» for fossil fuelled power stations is about 1/4; ie; 25 % efficiency.
