What can you do about the affects of fossil fuels?

I believe everyone. Let me explain. We can debate how much fossil fuels remain, but the fact is that these (oil, natural gas and coal) are limited resources.

Is sunlight a fossil fuel?

Solar energy is the best energy/fuel that exists. The mother of all earthly fuels, solar energy reaches us not only from light and heat, but also in wind, waves, and of course, biomass-in which plants capture some of that solar energy and, through photosynthesis, convert it chemical energy.There is no more fundamental fuel than solar energy, there is no more abundant fuel, there is no more powerful fuel. There is also no fuel more difficult to harness.While fossil fuels are expensive cause pollution and will eventually run out, Soalr causes no emmisions is free and unlimited.
