What is the difference between generation of electricity from coal and from candles?

You get more energy from burning a pound of coal then you get from burning a pound of candles. -- On the other hand, a power plant that burned candles would operate cleaner than one that burns coal.

What did the Victorians use instead of gas and electric.?

During the Victorian era, before the widespread adoption of gas and electric lighting, people primarily relied on candles, oil lamps, and coal for illumination and heating. Tallow candles made from animal fat were common, while oil lamps used whale oil or kerosene for light.
