47% is natural gas, 28% is coal (2010 figures).
Approximately 75% is produced by fossil fuels, mainly gas.
Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
More fossil fuels being used, higher electricity bills...
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
we would not have very much electricity
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
Fossil fuels provide around 66% of the world's electrical power, and 95% of the world's total energy demands (including heating, transport, electricity generation and other uses). xx
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Solar panels produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and therefore we don't need to use fossil fuels as much?
Car gas and energy to warm homes, cook food and do so much other stuff. BTW- Fossil Fuels are non-renewable so try to use less electricity!
Because fossil fuels are made of dead plants and animals and it takes millions of years to form and we use them to much and fast and we start to run out
Air pollution is caused by burning too much fossil fuels.
