Fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas were formed over millions of years. By definition, the world is a finite place and so must fossil fuels be. They can not be instantaneously replaced. It is why the world is trying to move to renewables such as tidal, wind, wave, solar etc

Are fossil fuels limited?
Yes, fossil fuels are limited. A highly controversial debate is what the world will do once fossil fuels run out.
Why should you stop using fossil fuels?
There will eventually be no fossil fuels to use in the world.
How can you stop fossil fuels in this world?
There is no viable alternative, and thus you cannot stop the usage of fossil fuels in the world.
What percentage of the world's energy relies on the use of fossil fuels?
I'm writing a report on fossil fuels and i found out that almost three-fourths of the world's energy relies on fossil fuels
Fossil fuels account for the majority of the world's energy use because they are?
Fossil fuels currently account for the majority of the world's energy use because they are inexpensive and abundant. The fossil fuels are depleting in a rapid rate.

What are the resources of fossil fuels in the world?
24%
Could fossil fuels create electricity?
Yes, fossil fuels can and do create electricity. Most electricity round the world today is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is wrong with fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel is so much a part of our life that it is hard to call it "wrong" but there should not be wasteful usage of these fuels. The primary fossil fuels are oil, gas and coal.The earth contains a limited quantity of these fuels. Many of the deposits of these fuels we will never be able to tap because they are too remote, small or expensive to recover. Offshore deposits of oil may lie in water too deep to make commercial discoveries.As we use fossil fuels, we are forced to explore more remote parts of the world to find more fossil fuels. As a result the cost of fossil fuels increases.We obtain energy from fossil fuels by burning them, and the products from combustion can contaminate the air. There is a greenhouse effect from this combustion which contributes to global warming. Combustion of gasoline in our cars releases a number of pollutants that can be harmful to our health, particularly in cities. In addition, acid rain can harm our forests.I have included 3 related links, but you can find much more information on the internet on future challenges of fossil fuel use.
Are all fuels examples of chemical energy?
They don't have to be. Some fuels are fossil fuels, which are rapidly disappearing right now. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil, which we use for gas, and coal, which we use for heat and electricity. But fossil fuels take millions of years to make more, so we are rapidly using up the fossil fuels of the world.
Why do we need to improve sources of energy that are not fossil fuels?
since fossil fuels can be found almost anywhere in the world we need to improve sources of energy so that they are around the world............
What is the alternative of the fossil fuel of coal?
Fossil fuels-including coal, natural gas, and oil-are formed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals, and fossil fuels provide about 95% of the world's total energy. Alternative fuels are better for the environment and often better for the economy than fossil fuels. Learn about the controversies and conservation plans surrounding fossil fuels, and explore the alternatives.
