Is it possible to get a copy of this video please, for a school whiteboard presentation on coal?

That are old power plants.

The plant of today gas the coal, en put the gas in a gas turbine. The heat out the turbine heat water that turned into steam.

Far more effective.

So the coal is only used to produce heat? Its that easy? why not use parabolic mirrors to heat the water?...make the units small enough so that people can install one in each home?
