Fossil fuels won't last for ever. We must research alternative power sources: of which solar power is just one possibility.
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
four advantages for fossil fuels: Fossil fuels have high energy density, are readily transportable, are usable with current infrastructure, and
chemical energy
Chemical potential energy
Well, fossil fuels are burned which heat boilers, this creates steam which spins turbinescreating electricity.
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Renewable energy cannot, at present, replace fossil fuels or our use of them.
There are many sources of energy that can be converted to electric energy. In many countries, most electric energy is produced by fossil fuels -- mostly coal, some natural gas, etc. However, in a few countries such as France and Belgium, most electric energy is produced from something other than fossil fuels. What can you use instead of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are running out quickly, as evidenced by the recent rise in the cost of gasoline due to the negative speculation regarding the "Libya crisis". Whereas 'wave' or 'tidal' energy is naturally occurring and 'renewable'.
no
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the sun lasts.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil Fuels =)
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
