How to get rid of fossil fuels?

Don't worry, fossil fuels will disappear within a century.


Why should you worry about acid rain?

We should worry about acid rain because of the way it destroys things. If the rain is very acidic then it can damage building houses monuments and statues. To stop this issue we should stop burning fossil fuels as much so that then the sulphur in the fuels wont evaporate and then be rained back down onto our environment.


Why are fossils the main source of energy for so many people?

because long ago when dinosaurs died their bodies left a type of oil. now we use that oil as gasoline. which runs our cars, stoves, and etc. basically anything that uses gasoline is using fossil fuels. fossil fuels is the only fuel we have, so it will be that one day it will be gone. but, do not worry we have got lots but, the problem is that if we misuse them then we will eventually lose it all. scientists have developed ways so we don't use fossil fuels. ex. solar energy, water running engine and etc. we could develop the same fuels from our bodies too but, it will take a really long time, approx. a few thousand years! hoped this helped!


Why should you convert to natural gas?

Converting to natural gas means never having to worry about fuel deliveries again. The gas is delivered through a network of pipelines directly to your home. It is the cleanest-burning of all the fossil fuels, so it is environmentally friendly. And natural gas traditionally costs less than other fuels or electricity.


Will fossil fuels ever run out?

They predict with in 75 to 100 years from now. That is what they say to the public. It is more like 20 to 30 years at the current rate of use and increase which is exponential . Some scientist say the Oil companies and the Middle east, are now getting to worry. They need to get as much for what is left as fast as possible, before the countries get the idea we do not need it and go to solar and geothermal. I took geology and believe me there no where near the oil they say there is. At least accessible oil. Granted there is probably lots in the ocean and very deep in the ocean, and areas that are protected or frozen. But it is not worth getting it.


Why have Albertans not taken greater advantage of their geothermal energy sources like the hot springs near Banff?

Perhaps they thought coal would last forever and nobody would worry about carbon dioxide and global warming. Geothermal energy requires a huge infrastructure, far more so than utilising fossil fuels. It is possible nowadays that more advantage may be made of it due to rising costs of fossil fuels and the fact that they are becoming more scarce. Many people do not consider climate change as an imminent threat and will continue using fossil fuels because on the economics involved.


The advantages solar energy has over non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels?

Some advantage are:It is limitless. We need not worry that we may exhaust the fuel.It does not cause air or water pollutionIt is available in plenty and across the globe


Why should people worry about carbon dioxide getting released into the air?

People should worry because a very little carbon dioxide (CO2) goes a long way in keeping the earth warm. For thousands of years 0.028% of CO2 has kept the earth warm enough for life. Levels are now at 0.04%, much higher, from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This extra gas is causing global warming and climate change.


Should I or should I not worry about running shoe toes?

There is no running shoe toe condition, but there is something called turf toe, which is generally suffered by football players that pivot off their toes often.


What are positive aspects for hydropower?

Unlike oil hydro power doesn't burn fossil fuels therefore not polluting. Also we don't have to worry about wasting water because the water cycle renews the water. Telling us that this is a renewable energy source


If you already choose a root fossil how do you get a claw fossil in ruby?

dont worry about that, you will still can get claw fossil after you beat the elite four. You can find it at fossil's maniac house. When you reach there, go inside. He will tell you that it is dangerous inside the hole that he dig. Dont worry, there is only a lot of ditto inside. You keep head east inside the hole till you found the fossil.


Why do people burn fossil fuels?

We as people on this planet need Energy. And the easiest way to get it is by burning fossil fuel. We use the fuel to make gas for our cars, to make electricity for our homes, to run our factories and powerplants. We've been consuming more and more over the years in way more time it takes fossil fuels to make themselves in the ground out of dying and decomposing material. We burn fossil fuels because it is the second most effective way that we know to get energy and the easiest one to transport. Nuclear energy is more effective, but has a stigma attached of it being bad due to a lack of understanding from the general population. Therefore people will generally prefer fossil fuels over nuclear energy. We burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because we didn't realize they were adding to the greenhouse effect which is now causing global warming and climate change. We know this now, but we are too greedy for easy profits and we ignore the long term consequences and what it will mean for our children and grandchildren.
