How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?

The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.


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.
