Fossil fuel plants are used to burn carbon fuels. Carbon fuels are then used to generate steam that is used in the production of electricity.
Alternative energy is used in the production of electricity in the following manner where the panels are placed on roof tops where they contain modules that have photovoltaic cells that consist of silicon as they transform sunlight to electricity.
