Are fossil fuels the most efficient energy source available?
No. Nuclear energy is the most efficient in producing steam for use in engines. 15-20% of the energy in fossil fuels is lost up chimneys into the atmosphere, and is unusable. Solar and Wind energy farms cannot harness or convert effectively all the energy in the sunlight or wind and have much lower actual efficiencies. Fossil fuels presently are the cheapest and most reliable energy source available. Solar and wind energy are less reliable.
What is nonrenewwable energy?
Energy derived from natural resource fuels. This is because natural resource fuels are limited in quantity and when used up, will no longer exist.
Why is solar energy good to fossil fuels?
because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
Where can an organism get energy once it has used up most of it carbohydrates?
they can get it from food
How is the energy of the nonrenewable oil harnessed captured and transferred?
Oil is pumped up from beneath the surface of the Earth and (often) refined into various products and fuels. Fuels are burnt to release their energy.
Where does the energy fossil fuel come from?
The sun. Fossil fuels are made up of plants and animals that lived in the past and have been converted to fossil fuels by geological processes over time. And as plants convert the suns energy into sugars, fossil fuels are stored solar energy.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The energy comes from the energy that was previously in dead plants/animals... to understand better read about the carboniferous period. It explains how fossil fuels were created, through the compression of decaying plant material that had lots of locked up carbon underneath layers of sediments.
Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?
the energy of a food chain goes down as it moves up the food chain. so the primary producer has the most energy and the quaternary consumers have the least amount of energy. -kait B :)
What kind of energy are you practising if you ride a bike instead of a car?
Both the bike rider and the car rider will be using up chemical energy and turning it into kinetic energy. The main difference is that the car is (probably) using up fossil, non-renewable fuels like gas or diesel, while the bike rider is fueled by food. And food is a renewable resource, we can grow more of it.
What country does fossil fuels come from?

If energy is never destroyed then where does the energy from fuels disappear?
Combustion of the fuels produces heat energy. This energy warms all things and the air in its vicinity. The energy doesn't disappear but is distributed over a lot of matter.
What would be the changes if the fossil fuels are used up?
The world will be using non renewable energy
What two energy-rich compounds make up fossil fuels?
coal and natural gas
