Au moins les trois quarts de l'électricité mondiale proviennent des centrales thermiques alimentées en combustibles fossiles : charbon, pétrole ou gaz naturel. [...] Jusqu'aux années 60, la grande majorité des centrales thermiques étaient alimentées au charbon. Depuis vingt ans, par contre, ce combustible a été progressivement détrôné par le pétrole. [...] Inévitablement, l'industrie de l'électricité a donc été très gravement touchée par la hausse fantastique des prix du pétrole. Cette inflation frappe d'ailleurs autant les centrales au gaz et au charbon [...] 1, record 1, French, - centrale%20thermique%20aliment%C3%A9e%20au%20charbon
