Energy Generation/ Consumption [322]



87% of the world energy consumption is generated from fossil fuels (gas, coal, oil). The rest is equally divided between nuclear (6%) and hydro energy (7%).
Alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and ocean wave/tidal power account for barely 0.1 %. Only in Spain and Germany do these sources supply up to 1% of the total consumption.
