What isn't true? > Most electricity is generated by using steam to turn turbines That is true. It is also true that renewables usually do not use steam. But they don't answer for "most electricity". That's natural gas, coal and other types of thermal plants, including nuclear. |

Gas combined cycle power plants get part of their power from gas in the turbine directly, and part of it from steam cycles. I can't figure out what % over of power comes from which part, and not all gas power plants are combined cycled.
It seems reasonable to say that most electricity is not generated by steam turbines. However I'm not sure how to find the real data to verify this. (and pedantically the gas in a gas turbine is mostly steam)
