How could you be using fossil fuels while watching a television show?
The TV is powered by electricity, which probably comes from a power plant that burns fossil fuels to generate power. You may be sitting in a room heated by a heater that burns natural gas.
How do you stop burning fossil fuels?
Most of our modern civilisation relies on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). We burn them in transport, industry and to generate electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. To stop burning fossil fuels we have to change to renewable energy(solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).

What are the usage of biofuel?
Biofuels is a substitute for some fossil fuels. Petroleum etc.
Are there any fuels that are not fossil fuels?

What are some sources of power that are not fossil fuels?
Wind, solar, water (as in hydroelectric dams), and Biofuel (corn-based ethanol) are major alternatives to fossil fuels.
Why is combustion not useful?
It burns fossil fuels
Is corn fossil fuels?
No. Coal, natural gas, and oil are examples of fossil fuels, as they are the products of organic material that was buried for millions of years. Alcohol is derived from corn, and considered a biofuel.
Why do you use gas for central heating?
1. usually it is cheaper to use than electric power. 2. it burns cleaner than the fossil fuels used to generate electricity
Why are LPG and biogas called cleaner fuels?
They produce less emissions than traditional fossil fuels.
