Also hydro, coal, gas wind and nuclear actually make electric the same way.
It’s generally made by somehow forcing something to spin inside a magnet creating a current.
The water just turns the turbine with its own power as does wind. Gas coal and nuclear create heat/steam to turn the turbine.
Solar is different something to do with chemistry or something?
