Best Answer

Most of our world runs on electricity, and most of our transport runs on oil.

Most of our electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.

The world is running out of oil, and the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a gas which contributes to the greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.

So we need to find alternative sources of energy, like solar power, tidal and wave power, hydro-electric power from rivers. Geo-thermal power, using the heat from deep down in the earth, is another alternative source of energy that the world is trying to use efficiently.
