The discovery of electricity has drastically changed the way humanity lives. In our days, we can barely imagine what it would be like to live without internet, let alone electricity. Countries produce electricity to keep streets illuminated, businesses working and houses cozy. Depending on the population, the inhabited area and other factors, some countries produce more electricity than others.
There are also more sources that can be used to produce electricity. There are fossil sources, renewable sources and also nuclear energy. Worldwide, fossil energy amounts to a total of 67,5%, renewable goes up to 20,3%, and nuclear sources provide 12,2% of the total energy produced. Lately there has been a lot of talk regarding the fact that fossil sources are limited, and energy companies are slowly trying to move towards renewable sources.

The world’s largest electricity producing country is China. This is not at all surprising, considering that China also has the biggest population. Find a hotel room in any country and just try to imagine it without electricity. It probably won’t look very comfy, so enjoy the facilities!
