How can you prevent the burning of fossil fuels?

Answer 1

Fossil fuels are burnt in any transport using the combustion engine, like cars and trucks. Even more fossil fuels are also burnt in electricity power stations to generate electricity and heat homes.

Whenever fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt they release all the carbon dioxide that has been stored up in them for millions of years. This CO2 adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and is causing global warming.

We can prevent the burning of fossil fuels by:

1. Lobbying our governments and leaders to legislate for green renewable energy
2. Cut down on our own use of electricity (turn off these appliances).
3. Cut down on our own use of transport (use public transport, bicycles or walk).

Answer:

The concept of reducing fossil fuel burning has been slowed down by well meaning environmentalist movements lobbying for systems that do not work such as wind and solar. Lobbying for green technologies will actually increase the use of fossil fuels to supplement non functioning technologies.

There really is very little, short of population control on a massive scale, that anyone can do to reduce fossil fuel burning. The use of fossil fuels is not known to be a significant issue in any event. The United States alone has over 400 years of oil in the Baikan and Green Valley reserves alone. Fossil fuels are believed by some groups to be contributing up to 0.2% of all annual green house gases. The claimed need to reduce does not warrant the deaths needed to reduce. The complete end of the use of fossil fuels can never occur.

Answer 2

You can prevent the burning of fossil fuels by reducing your energy consumption, increasing your use of renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, driving less and using public transportation or carpooling, and supporting policies that promote clean energy alternatives.
