- The United States follows with 3,700 warheads.
- China has an estimated 600 warheads.
- France is shown with 290 warheads.

- India is estimated to have 180 warheads.
- Pakistan has around 170 warheads.
- Israel&#x27;s stockpile is estimated at 90 warheads.

The horizontal axis marks the years, starting at 1985 on the left and progressing to 2024 on the right. The vertical axis indicates the percentage of electricity generation, ranging from 0% to 100%. 

A brown line represents fossil fuels, which shows a gradual decline over the years, starting near 90% in 1985 and dropping sharply after 2015, approaching close to 40% by 2024. In contrast, a blue line illustrates renewables, showing a slow increase from nearly 0% in 1985 to a significant rise, crossing the fossil fuel line in 2024 to surpass it. 

The title notes the historic shift in Dutch electricity generation, indicating that for the first time, most electricity now comes from renewable sources.
