We are all adding to global warming when we use electricity, whenever that electricity is generated from fossil fuels. This does not mean that we, or the people of Illinois, should stop using electricity, although there are mreasures we can take to reduce our usage. What Illinois can do is to move away from using coal and oil to generate electricity and towards using renewable resourcesuch as wind, solar and geothermal resources.

What is a positive impact of solar panels?
They produce electricity without adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, thus reducing the effect of global warming.
Are robots involved in global warming?
Yes if you are talking about mations because they use electricity and that is part of global warming XXX
Why is global warming continuing?
Global Warming is continuing because all around the world people are still burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) and all the carbon dioxide emitted is adding to the greenhouse gases. This will continue till we start using renewable energy for transport and electricity. Then global warming may slow down.
Which ways of producing electricity contributes to global warming?
Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming.

Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming
When you turn off a light how does it help global warming?

What percent does electricity take up in global warming?
almost 31%
