There are no alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed by life trapping sunlight falling on Earth over time periods of hundreds of millions of years. There is no realistic alternative for this source (amount) of energy. Once these fuels are used up all we will have is a little nuclear energy and access to the day to day energy currently falling on the planet. This will not be enough to sustain our civilization. The only hope is progress with nuclear fusion energy research.

Are fossil fuels found everywere?
no because some places doesn't have it
Why is uranium the second most used fuel in the us?
Uranium has some advantages compared with fossil fuels:1. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels, especially for countries without reserves of coal, petrol, methane.2. Uranium don't contribute to global warming.3. Uranium don't release carbon dioxide.4. In the future uranium can be extracted from the sea water.
What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
How do fossil fuels burn?
Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.
What are some examples of fossils fuels?
Fossil Fuels are fuels that are produced by the organic residue of plants and animals that lay buried under the earth for millenia. They are hydrocarbons found in earth's crust and were formed as a result of chemical action over ages on organic fossils. Fossil fuels come in a wide variety and range from volatile substances like Ethane, Methane, liquid petrolium, kerosene to non volatile materials like coal (which is composed purely of carbon). They were formed from the fossils of dead plants and animals which have been buried under earth's crust for millions of years due to earth's temperature and pressures. Reference: blurit.com
What are some startling facts about fossil fuels?
Coal, petrol etc are examples of fossil fuels. They are exhaustible.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
What are the examples of some nonrenewable resources?
fossil fuels and uranuim
Which are some cheap alternative fuels?
Some cheap alternative fuels include the use of biodiesel, bioalcohol, chemically stored electricity, hydrogen, vegetable oil, and non-fossil methane.
What fossil fuels are burnt in factories?
Some examples are: coal, oil and natural gas
What are some examples of alternative fossils fuels?
There are no alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed by life trapping sunlight falling on Earth over time periods of hundreds of millions of years. There is no realistic alternative for this source (amount) of energy. Once these fuels are used up all we will have is a little nuclear energy and access to the day to day energy currently falling on the planet. This will not be enough to sustain our civilization. The only hope is progress with nuclear fusion energy research.
What would you use if all the fossil fuels run out?

Are fossil fuels renewable or nonrenewable resources?
Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable as they are the product of living things that died in the distant past.
List of fossil fuels?
There are various types of fossil fuels which are formed from different materials. Some fossil fuels are natural gas, coal, and crude oil.
