The article talks about how fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas are important for making electricity, making up around 60% of the world's electricity. Back in the day, almost all electricity came from coal, but now it's a mix of coal, oil, and gas. In 1965, coal contributed to 44% of the world's electricity, while in 1985 it dropped to 37%. Oil and gas contributions have stayed somewhat the same. The amount of fossil fuels used for making electricity increased a lot over the years, going from 1105 million tonnes in 1965 to 2975 million tonnes in 1985. Fossil fuels are a big part of our electricity creation and will continue to be for a while, along with hydro and nuclear power.
