We use many fossil fules such as coal, petrol, oil etc. If you would like to go more specific, these are not renewable fuels ast they take millions of years to create. This is why we need to find new energy source's because, we burn them in matter of minuetes. Hope this helped :-)

Why were electric cars invented?

Electric cars have been invented due to the insight (and hope) that it may be an end to the world's dependence of fossil fuels. There is no synthetic fuels we can use, all the fuels and synthetic oils that we use today are derivatives of fossil fuels. Most plastics made today require fossil fuels. Also with the sun being as plentiful as it is in some regions it may become cheaper and more practical to use the solar capabilites, especially since it is a resource that is not expected to burn out for thousands if not another million years.

What are some good things about fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels are the most prevalent source of energy today because: * coal is found all over the world and can be mined fairly easily. * oil has been discovered all over the world, it can be pumped out fairly easily, and when burnt it has tremendous power (a cup of gasoline can run a car full of people for a mile at high speed, nothing else comes close to that). * natural gas is similar to the above.
