Prior 2 Edison, Tesla, and Westinghouse we burned coal and wood to heat our food warm our homes.
Today in the 3rd World many still do the same as their ancestors a millenium ago.
Anyways The Global Warming crowd doesnt like it
But China & India both host well over a "Billion" each and dont give a Rats Rearend what you think and will continue Burning massive amounts of "Coal" & Oil until the next technological revolution.
Even right here at home in The USA computing technology & A/I has devoloped so far in last Decade or so big Data Centers & computer processors demand ever constantly growing volumes of electricity so much so we have been forced to rethink "Nuclear Power" power all those computer data banks 24/7 & 365 days per year
We also have been working on "Fusion" something like 50/75 years now but the "Technology" still has a long way 2 go before its "Comercially" VIABLE & co$t effective.
