 All people require the production and use of energy. Energy is used for transformation, heating, 
cooling, cooking, lighting, and industrial production. The world energy supply depends on many 
different resources including traditional fuels such as firewood and animal waste which are significant 
energy sources in many developing countries. Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – account for more than 
90% of global energy production but they are nonrenewable - that is, they can be used up –and their use 
causes air pollution. In particular, factories using coal have been one of the worst industrial polluters 
since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Moreover, mining or drilling for 
fossil fuels has caused extensive environmental damage.
