2. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

   At least 20% of the world's electricity is generated by natural gas. Water Energy is captured by a water turbine from the movement of water - from falling water, the rise and fall of tides or ocean thermal currents (see ocean thermal energy conversion). Currently, hydroelectric plants provide approximately 16% of the world's electricity.
