Answer: True
Step-by-step explanation:
Coal: Coal came into use as a major energy source during the Industrial Revolution of the 1700s and 1800s. During this period, steam-powered engines with coal-fueled boilers were used to power ships and trains. The outbreak of the U.S. Civil War led to coal replacing charcoal as the fuel source for steel furnaces. Coal was also used to fuel furnaces and stoves inside homes. In the 1880s, coal was used to generate electricity, which was used in both homes and factories.
water: Waterwheels produced energy from the movement of water and were used for the same purposes as windmills. After the invention of the crankshaft and the camshaft, waterwheels were used to power sawmills, iron foundries, and later the cotton mills of the mid-1800s. In the late 1880s, hydroelectric plants were used and coal-powered plants to produce electricity.
oil: In the mid-1800s, the oil began to replace coal as an energy source. In 1859, the first oil well was dug. Petroleum was harvested from wells, distilled into kerosene, and used in lamps as a replacement for whale oil. In 1861, Nikolaus August Otto developed the internal combustion engine, which was fueled by oil. Gasoline wasn't used until 1892 when the first gasoline car was built.
