What kind of power stations are fueled by fossil fuels?
The two most commonly used fossil fuels used to generate electricity are coal and natural gas. Some smaller-scale generators, especially backup generators for critical buildings or functions, are fueled by diesel or, for personal-sized generators, gasoline. Those are the most common ones. In theory, you could use almost any fossil fuel to generate electricity.
How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.
Identify the three main types of fossil fuels used in the United States and state two ways we use fossil fuels today?
The three main types of fossil fuel used in the US (and everywhere):CoalOilNatural gas (methane).Two ways of using fossil fuels today:We burn fossil fuel to generate electricity.We burn oil to power vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, ships and planes).
What are Two most common types of fossils?
There are a variety of types of fossils. These include cast fossils, mold fossils, petrified wood, as well as fossil fuels.
What do fossil fuels uses?
Crude oil and coal are two examples of fossil fuels.
What are two types of fossil fuels?

Decomposed sea creatures mainly form what two types of fossil fuels?
Oil and natural gas.
Which two fossil fuels were formed from the remains of marine organism?
petroleum and natural gas
What are two types of environmental problems that may arise because of the use of fossil fuels in your power station?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide (CO2) a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.Burning fossil fuels also releases sulphur and nitrous dioxides, which cause acid rain.
What two fossil fuels are found in Mexico?
Tmi
Where are the other two fossil fuels found in Mexico?
Oil, coal and natural gas are the three main fossil fuels found in Mexico.
Why do people need to develop alternative sources of renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels?
Mainly two reasons. (1) The fossil fuels will eventually be used up. (2) Fossil fuels cause pollution.
Why are fossil fuels used at the moment and not renewables?
Fossil fuels are used for two reasons: on average, they are cheaper per kWh, and the infrastructure is already in place.
