Wind energy is already used to supply some of the electric power that would otherwise be produced by burning fossil fuels.
As of 2010, the 8 largest onshore wind farms in the US each have a capacity of more than 450 Megawatt.
When the wind blows, those wind farms produce electricity that would otherwise be produced by burning coal or natural gas.

How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
What can you do to reduce burning of fossil fuels?
Lower the energy consumption and/or switch to non-fossil energy.
How can geothermal energy be used to replace fossil fuels?
it is way better than fossil fuels
What can you use to replace fossil fuels?
U can replace it by renewable energy
Why should fossil fuels be conserved renewable energy sources are available?
Renewable energy cannot, at present, replace fossil fuels or our use of them.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
What energy source was wind designed to replace?
Carbon producing fossil fuels.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?
Fossil Fuels =)
What problems harnessed nuclear energy from fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
How would solar heated building and floors and walls reduce fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels are used to heat buildings, floors, and walls. Solar Energy can be used in place of fossil fuels and does not require them. Therefore fossil fuel use can be reduced by using solar heating.
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
