There are several reasons; supply and demand, weather, recouping capital and O&M expenses from the rate payers, and legislation. The two primary reasons is weather (warm winter results in less demand, thus less margin), and legislation (environmental, taxes, etc).

How much fossil fuels are burnt every year?
2 gallons of fossil fuels are burnt a day
How much do fossil fuels pollute per year?
An estimated 35.6 billion metric tons are made from burning fossil fuels every year, and that number rises sharply every year.
Which best describe how fossil fuels form?
Over period of millions of year.
Why are fossil fuels increasing year by year?
Fossil fuels are not increasing year by year. However, the known reserves of fossil fuels may be increasing, depending on the success of exploration efforts and the rate of depletion of the reserves. Also, reserves are divided into producible and non-producible portions, with the distinction based on what is considered economical to extract given current prices. As the producible portion is used up and as extraction technology improves, the dividing line between producible and non-producible moves and the producible portion may grow.
What things are made from fossil fuels?
Plastics, artificial rubber, Vaseline, diesel, gasoline 500 billion tons of plastic produced in the world every year is made from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). 70% of this ends up in landfills.

Which best describe how fossil fuels form?
Over period of millions of year.
What green house gasses do fossil fuels emit?
Chiefly carbon dioxide. Fossil fuels are primarily carbon. When burned, this carbon combines with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2. CO2 is a heat trapping gas which lingers for centuries, and human consumption of fossil fuel now liberates over 20 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
Is corn a fossil fuel or plant resource?
It is a plant resource. More info: Fossil fuels come from decayed plants and animals. Fossil fuels are a limited non renewable energy source. A plant resource can usually be regrown every year and therefore has no production limit.
Why are fossil fuels considered to be non renewable energy sources?
Because for them to replenish takes millions of year.
