The main problem with fossil fuels is that there is a limited amount of them. At some point we are going to run out. Now this isn't going to happen anytime soon but at some point we will run out of fossil fuels.
The other problem of course is that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide which is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming and climate change.

What are the main usues of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
What are four advantages for fossil fuels?
four advantages for fossil fuels: Fossil fuels have high energy density, are readily transportable, are usable with current infrastructure, and
What is a bad side effect of burning fossil fuels for energy?
Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to Global Warming. Fossil fuels are a great source of energy, but cause many side effects and they are nonrenewable. Other bad side effects could be the retrieval of fossil fuels which can cause harm to the environment. Everybody saw the terrible aftermath of the BP oil spill a few years ago, problems such as this caused a massive destruction of habitat for 1000s of animals. In the UK, extraction of Gas has caused minor earthquakes which has also damaged the local environment. Basically, fossil fuels are great for energy, but are terrible for the environment.
A type of potential energy that is made from fossil fuels?

Chemical potential energy
What problems harnessed nuclear energy from fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
An energy-rich substance formed from the remains of organisms is?

Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What energy source can you use instead of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
Are fossil fuels used to produce energy?
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
What do thermal energy and fossil fuels have in common?
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
What are the main usues of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
What energy does fossil fuels have?
chemical energy
