Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Whenever fossil fuel is burnt it releases carbon dioxide that has been stored in the fuel for millions of years. This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the environment that are contributing to global warming.
