Why is it important to find alternative resources to use in the place of fossil fuels?

It is important to find alternative resources to fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. By transitioning to renewable energy sources, we can also reduce air pollution, create more sustainable energy systems, and decrease our dependence on finite and environmentally damaging fossil fuels.


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.


Where can you find fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas generally need to be extracted from the earth. Mining and well drilling (depending on the substance) are the two main methods for accomplishing this.
