As of recent data, solar energy accounts for about 3-4% of the total global energy production, while fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) still dominate, contributing around 80% of the world's energy supply. The rapid growth of solar energy is notable, with installations increasing significantly each year, but it still lags far behind fossil fuels in total energy output. Efforts to transition to renewable energy sources are ongoing, with solar expected to play a larger role in the future. However, fossil fuels remain the primary energy source for most countries.

Does electricity use fossil fuels?

There are many sources of energy that can be converted to electric energy. In many countries, most electric energy is produced by fossil fuels -- mostly coal, some natural gas, etc. However, in a few countries such as France and Belgium, most electric energy is produced from something other than fossil fuels.

How much energy is produced compare to fossil fuels?

well that depends compare to solar energy i think fossil fuels make the most energy out of any other kind of energy because they have coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas in wish solar energy depends on the sun and wind energy in the wind that is why fossil fuels produced more energy than any other.

Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?

Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.

What is the comparison between the cost of solar energy and fossil fuels?

The cost of solar energy has been decreasing over the years and is now competitive with fossil fuels in many regions. Solar energy has lower long-term costs and is more environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuels.


What is the opposite of fossil fuels called?

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are considered the opposite of fossil fuels. These sources are considered sustainable and have lower environmental impacts compared to fossil fuels.


What is produced energy?

Energy cannot be "produced", energy cannot be made or destroyed, though we can harvest energy from the wind, sun, fossil fuels and even from splitting an atom


Why is the sun the source of energy for fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are produced by the slow alteration of masses of vegetation, compressed underground. That vegetation originally used the energy of sunlight to grow, therefore it is the sun's energy which is stored in chemical form, in fossil fuels.
