About 120 years ago the insides of buildings were lit by candles, oil lamps and gas lights. Coal and wood were used as fuel or fires to keep the buildings warm in winters. The streets were lit by gas lights. Today, the buildings are lit by electricity. Some buildings have air conditioning powered by electricity to keep them cool in summer. They also have heaters powered by electricity to keep them warm in winter.
