The coal is used mostly to generate electricity.
Oil is now used the most
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.
Solar energy can be used to generate electricity, which will then drive machinery of all kinds, including vehicles. Most fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) is also used to generate electricity.
The most energy-dense fuel available is uranium, which is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
In many parts of Africa, the primary fuel used to generate electricity is fossil fuels, particularly diesel and heavy fuel oil. However, there is an increasing focus on renewable sources such as hydroelectric and solar power to diversify the energy mix and promote sustainability.
No, but if gas is combustible then it may be used as a fuel to run the generators for the production of electricity.
Peat
It depends on what fuel or power is used to generate the electricity .

Coal is still primarily used in the US to generate power (~47% of all electricity generated), however natural gas is being used increasingly to generate electricity (~20% of all electrical generation).
