Fossil fuels are generally considered oil, gas and coal in the ground. They are non-renewable resources, in limited supply in the world. These basic facts will not change over time.
What is changing all the time, is how we explore, recover and use these fossil fuels. In each of these three fossil fuels, there is continued exploration in areas which were considered too remote or difficult to extract the fossil fuels. The new sources of coal are coming from areas outside of the US. As shown in the related link, production of coal is increasing in China and India and declining in the US and European Union. The table shows production up to 2009 and you may need to search the internet for more recent data.
More petroleum exploration in deep water and hostile environments (artic regions) is likely, however in the next 50 years, I believe it will be more regulated to reduce the chance of oil spills.
There has been considerable controversy on the use of fossil fuels, as related to global warming and other environmental impacts, including acid rain. There has been excellent cooperative scientific research, however countries have had differing opinions on the solution. I would hope in the next 50 years, there is more work towards solutions.
I have included links for petroleum, natural gas and coal, so you can research this topic further.
We need to save fossil fuels because they are finite resources that take millions of years to form. Overusing them contributes to climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation. Conserving fossil fuels also helps transition to efficient and sustainable energy sources.
Fossil fuels are natural fuels derived from the remains of ancient organisms (plants and animals) that have been buried and subjected to high pressure and heat over millions of years. Common fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and air pollution.
Fossil fuels include coal, oil/petroleum, and natural gas. These fuels are formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals buried deep underground. When burned, they release carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
People should conserve fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change, and preserve these finite resources for future generations. Conserving fossil fuels also helps limit air and water pollution associated with their extraction and combustion.
Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas that are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years. Sentence: The burning of fossil fuels for energy production is a major contributor to global warming.

The potatoes are not the fossil fuels.But they can turn into fossil fuels once buried in soil for million years.
Fossil Fuels predict to run out withing 50-55 years
fossil fuels will run out in: 50 years for oil 250 for nuclear and coal will run out in 80 years...
One limitation of using fossil fuels is that they are non-renewable resources, meaning they will eventually run out. Additionally, burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and air pollution.
Its not so much that we have to stop using fossil fuels. Forget the effect on the environment and how we are destroying something that took millions of years to create in just a short hundred and fifty years. But the fact is we are running out of the fossil fuels. We have to do something or are very way of life will change before we can get a grasp on it. Whats really funny about the liberals is they yell and scream all this, but yet they drive, they bar-b-q, they work in jobs that pollute, they use products that are made in plants that produce pollution. Donate to the Research if you want real change!

Onced used ,it takes many millions of years to replace fossil fuels.
There are fossil fuels because things (like plants and animals) died hundreds of millions of years ago. Most Fossil fuels are non- renewable. Meaning they will not replenish untill we are dead and gone for hundreds of millions of years.
