According to the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) in 2010, total energy consumption was 523.9 quadrillion British Thermal Units (Btu). Of this, 56.2 quadrillion Btu, or 10.7% was from renewable sources, and 27.3 quadrillion Btu or 5.2% was from Nuclear sources. The balance of 84.1% came from fossil fuels.

What can you do to reduce burning of fossil fuels?
Lower the energy consumption and/or switch to non-fossil energy.
What are facts about non renewable energy?
Non renewable energy consists a lot of fossil fuels, so I'll tell you about FOSSIL FUELS. Primary energy consumption of fossil fuels was 86.4% worldwide. That's really all I can remember!

How do you Reduce consumption of fossil fuel?
The major fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Our worldwide consumption of fossil fuels continues to increase with time. The more developed countries use more fossil fuels. Our personal use is tied to electrical usage and gasoline consumption. So, more fuel efficient cars and houses that are more energy efficient are means of lowering consumption. Development of alternative energy sources reduces our dependence on fossil fuels. Energy generated from wind and solar power at present, contribute very little to our overall energy needs. Biofuels are controversial. Converting crops to fuels, may increase the cost of food. To many in the world, affordable food comes first. Increasing the number of nuclear energy power plants is also controversial, primarily with safety concerns in storing spent nuclear material. Means of reducing fossil fuel consumption is not easy. However, higher prices motivates people to find ways to cut back their energy use. See related links.
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
