What are some of the negative consequences to using fossil fuels for solar power?

You can't use fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for solar power. You can use fossil fuels to burn to make electricity. Solar power is another way of generating electricity that is better, without negative consequences.
The negative effects of using fossil fuels are the polluting greenhouse gases emitted, mostly carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases are building in the atmosphere and causing global warming.

Why do we need solar power plants?
Solar power is a great example of renewable energy, which can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, which will run out eventually.we solar power becuse to make stuff better
What is the main cause of increased carbon dioxide?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a combination of increased input from vehicles and industry, and a decreased outtake due to large amounts of trees being cut down and not replaced.
Why should we use solar energy for fossil fuels?
In contrast, fossil fuels can have a significant impact on water resources: both coal mining and natural gas drilling can pollute sources of drinking water, and all thermal power plants, including those powered by coal, gas, and oil, withdraw and consume water for cooling.
Why is the sun responsible for making a car operational?
It was either that sunlight grew the plants long ago that became the fossil fuels for cars, or that the heat from the sun creates energy to power the cars.
Why is solar energy more efficient in space?
The energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) needs oxygen to burn. This is not available in space. What is available is lots of sunlight. So solar power is the best and most efficient answer to provide power in space.
Are all the fuels fossil fuels?
No Solar and wind power are both not fossil fuels.
How are fossil fuels different from wind power?
wind power blows and fossil fuels are gases
How does a power plant transform energy in fossil fuels to electrical energy?
steps for power plant transform fossil fuels
How can a lump of rock end up as a power in several years?

What are fossil fuels used for?
Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in our homes and for to power our automobiles and other vehicles and power tools.
What fossil fuels are used in power plants?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used in power plants.
How dependent is Australia on fossil fuels?
We are extremely reliant on fossil fuels as we use it to power our cars and in our homes.
Why is solar power better than fossil fuels?
it is better than fossil fuels because it is better for our environment and it will last way longer than fossil fuels. :)
Is hydroelectricity a substitute to fossil fuels?
Yes. If we can use more electricity from dams (hydroelectic power), we conserve fossil fuels. I also note that while hydroelectric is generally better than using fossil fuels, there are a number of disadvantages to hydroelectric power, including loss of land and negative impact on the environment when large dams are constructed. See related links.
What is the largest source of man made mercury in the environment?
power plants fueled by fossil fuels
What are we going to do when fossil fuels run out?
There are many alternatives to fossil fuels. We can generate electricity by using nuclear, solar, wind, and other sources of power. We can also manufacture fuels out of corn or other crops. Of course, even though fossil fuels can be replaced, that is expensive, and the economic consequences are very serious. Whether the human race can make the transition smoothly, remains to be seen.
What are three positives about fossil fuels?
Three positives about fossil fuels are:1. Fossil fuel power stations are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain.2. Fossil fuel power stations can produce large quantities of electricity.3. Fossil fuels are easily distributed.
