In the last 200 years what fuels have people used most?

In the last 200 years, fossil fuels—primarily coal, oil, and natural gas—have been the dominant sources of energy globally. The Industrial Revolution marked a significant shift towards coal, which powered factories and steam engines. In the 20th century, oil became increasingly important, fueling transportation and electricity generation. Currently, natural gas is also a major player, contributing to both heating and electricity while renewables are gradually gaining ground.
