Is fossils fuel to be considered scientific endeavor?

Answer 1

I believe you are asking is what scientific endeavors or challenging tasks exist related to fossil fuels.

One challenging task is to find new sources of fossil fuels and to find best means to produce the discovered fuels. To do this requires people skilled in the following disciplines:

Geophysics

Geology

Mechanical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

Petroleum Engineering - including drilling, production and reservoir.

A second challenging task is to set regulations and procedures so fossil fuels can be produced in a safe manner and to reduce the impact to the environment. Scientists study the impact to the environment, particularly air pollution to burning gasoline in our cars.

This requires environmentalists, environmental engineers, marine biologists, lawyers (to write laws and regulations) and the other engineering disciplines mentioned above.

You may find many of the challenges to the future of fossil fuels by doing a Google search on the internet.
