Fossil fuels are the most prevalent source of energy today because:
* coal is found all over the world and can be mined fairly easily. * oil has been discovered all over the world, it can be pumped out fairly easily, and when burnt it has tremendous power (a cup of gasoline can run a car full of people for a mile at high speed, nothing else comes close to that). * natural gas is similar to the above.
