Nuclear power—a source of much debate about its clean or dirty status–was responsible for 12.6% of its electricity. (10/19) The giant Itaipu hydroelectric power plant, wedged between Paraguay and Brazil on the Parana River, faces an energy crunch amid record low river and rainfall levels that experts say could last into next year.

There are four major types (or "ranks") of coal. Rank refers to steps in a slow, natural process called "coalification," during which buried plant matter changes into an ever denser, drier, more carbon-rich, and harder material. The four ranks are:Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal, containing a high ...
