Ask the fire brigade! If chemical energy is released too quickly it can be incredibly dangerous. The frequent bushfires of Australia and the recent forest fires in California are good examples. Chemical energy is also responsible for every explosion and shooting (except air guns etc.) there has ever been.

On a different level, the chemical energy of fossil fuels is constantly at the centre of conflict and war.

However, unless we want to starve to death, chemical energy is not something we can afford to dispense with.

chemical energy is responsible for the corrosion of all metallic elements. This will cause a failure of the infrastructure of a country, if left unchecked.
