Every country has its own means of generating energy. Not every land is blessed with fossil fuels and similarly, not every land has a hydroelectric turbine. Each country tries to make the best use of their resources. The trend to use resources skillfully becomes even more important in these trying times of the global pandemic, where many industries are collapsing and economies are suffering.
There are many sources by which energy is generated. A few examples are nuclear plants, renewable energy (recyclable), hydroelectricity sources and fossil fuels. Of all these, the discussion of nuclear sources is perhaps the most sensitive. This is because nuclear plants are harmful to the environment, and also to human beings. There have been radioactive accidents in the past and that only adds to the importance of using other means to generate power and energy.
Keeping that in mind, many countries have started relying on other energy sources. Renewable energy is being seen as the ultimate solution to save costs as well as the environment and humanity. So as of 2019, coal has been the ultimate energy source, with 36% energy generation globally. To learn more about how various countries are producing energy, have a look at the infographic below.

Kila nchi ina njia yake mwenyewe ya kutokeza nishati. Si kila nchi inayobarikiwa na mafuta ya visukuku na vivyo hivyo, si kila nchi ina turbine ya umeme wa maji. Kila nchi inajaribu kutumia vizuri rasilimali zake. "Mwelekeo wa kutumia rasilimali kwa ustadi unakuwa muhimu zaidi katika nyakati hizi za kujaribu za janga la ulimwengu, ambapo viwanda vingi vinashuka na uchumi unateseka. """ Kuna vyanzo vingi ambavyo nishati hutokezwa. Mifano michache ni mitambo ya nyuklia, nishati mbadala (recyclable), vyanzo vya umeme wa maji na mafuta ya visukuku. Kati ya mambo hayo yote, huenda mazungumzo kuhusu vyanzo vya nyuklia yakawa yenye kuumiza zaidi. Hii ni kwa sababu mitambo ya nyuklia ni hatari kwa mazingira, na pia kwa wanadamu. """Kulikuwa na ajali za mnururisho katika siku za nyuma na hiyo inaongeza tu umuhimu wa kutumia njia nyingine za kuzalisha nguvu na nishati." Kwa kuzingatia hilo, nchi nyingi zimeanza kutegemea vyanzo vingine vya nishati. Nishati mbadala inaonekana kama suluhisho la mwisho la kuokoa gharama na mazingira na ubinadamu. Kwa hivyo, kufikia mwaka wa 2019, makaa ya mawe yamekuwa chanzo kikuu cha nishati, na 36% ya uzalishaji wa nishati ulimwenguni. Ili kujifunza zaidi juu ya jinsi nchi mbalimbali zinazalisha nishati, angalia infographic hapa chini. Infographic na EnergyMinute
