The latest reports indicate that if petroleum fuel usage continues without increasing (just at today's current rate of usage), we may very well completely run out of petroleum within the next 100 years, or possibly sooner. (**Note: The point at which we start completely running out of fossil fuels all over the planet has been termed "Peak Oil" and is the greatest threat of energy use to our planet.)

  • Oil - 17% of fossil fuel use is oil
  • Natural Gas - 14% of fossil fuel usage is Natural Gas
  • Coal - 69% of fossil fuel production of energy is created by coal
  • It will eventually run out, due to over usage, such as the petrol in cars, trains, machines etc
