Buring of fossil fuels
The most abundant fossil fuel produced in the US is oil (petroleum). Oil is commonly used for transportation, heating, and electricity generation.
It makes gas in a greenhouse.
Nuclear fuel is not a fossil fuel because it is not derived from organic matter like coal, oil, or natural gas. Nuclear fuel is produced from uranium ore and undergoes nuclear reactions to release energy, unlike fossil fuels which result from the decomposition of organic material over millions of years.
Hydroelectric power is an alternative to production of electricity produced by fossil fuels
It is a by-product of crude oil, therefore yes.
Fuel that can be used instead of fossil fuel :BiodieselBioAlcoholBattery as fuel (electric fuel cells)HydrogenArtificially produced combustible hydrocarbons [methane, butane,etc]Compressed Air

Petrol is a fuel. Burning it releases the energy it stores.
There are many electricity generation methods. For example, wind turbines, nuclear reaction, generators, fossil fuels and many more. In almost all the processes, final electrical energy is produced only from buring of fuel. Fuel can be coal, Uranium etc. They convert the energy generated after buring the fuel into the electricity. The largest percentage of electricity is obtained from the generators which burn coal or similar fuel. They first burn the fuel, extract useful energy from it in the form of steam and then tranfer that energy to drive large size turbines and then these turbines convert that mechanical driving power into main electricity and then it is transferred to the cities and towns. It is a step by step process.
