Anyways power plants use steam to drive a turbine, so why not make the steam by heating the pipes with electricity. Just like an electric stove does when you boil water. Then the turbine will spin an axle which spins other axles (ones that don’t conduct electricity) that power many other generators, a couple of those generators will make the electricity needed to heat up the steam, while the other generators make the rest of the electricity. Oh, and if anyone has already though of that then I can only say that i didn’t plagiarize.
