Electricity is a big problem in the modern world because it has both useful, and deadly qualities, just like water. Electricity can be used to help sustain someone's life, as in the form of pacemakers, IV machines, and dialysis machines. It can even be used to revive someone's like, as in the use of defibrillators. They can be deadly because quite a number of people die from electrocution and lightning strikes. Way back when, and even today, prisoners on death row could be electrocuted to death by their sentence.
You could say that the human dependency on electricity has weakened us to where we electricity can (at times) be a need.

Why is static electricity a problem when pumping gas?
Static electricity can create a very tiny spark that can burst the gas fume into flames.
What are the problems with solar energy?
The problem is perhaps there isn't enough of it. There are different ways of harvesting the energy of the sun to produce electricity, probably the most common are PV (photovoltaic) solar panels which can be installed on roofs of houses. (The other way is to use the sun to heat water. This is the easiest and quickest way to save money environmentally.)The problems are the initial cost of the PV panels which is high, to cover the cost of production. Another problem is that the return is fairly small, compared to the cost of the panels. Another problem is that some countries, like the US, subsidize the price of electricity, so actual electricity is fairly cheap and people are discouraged by the initial cost of the solar panels. When the cost of the power stations' carbon emissions is factored in, as it should be soon, then the cost of electricity will rise closer to its real worth, and people will be more inclined to install PV panels.
Does electromagnet produce electricity or use electricity?
It doesn produce electricity. It uses electricity and shows magnetic properties.

Does electricity continue to flow through a table lamp when the switch is on and the bulb is removed from the lamp?
Electricity flows by any conductor.But the most used to flow electricity is copper. Now if there is any problem with a wire even if it is a conductor the electricity will not flow.Sometimes when trying to make an electric circuit the electricity does not flow,if the wirehas no problem it is a problem with connection to make that work you just put silver paperbetween the 2 wires that have a problem in connecting to the bulb or any such thing.
One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
