What is a reason for not using fossil fuels?

Answer 1

1. using fossil fuels may be a contributor to global warming

2. mining fossil fuels is harmful to the environment

3. our supply of fossil fuels is limited therefore the price for them will go up as fossil fuels run out

4. sometime in the future society will have to transfer to an alternative energy supply, (i.e. renewable energy, nuclear, hydrogen) so using alternative fuels now can help the transition so we can be completely weaned off of fossil fuels once they run out.

5. buying oil from the Middle East is funding their terrorist activity

6. the pollution caused by burning fossil fuels obviously isn't good for people to breath and is causing many health problems

Answer 2

One reason for not using fossil fuels is that they contribute to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide when burned, which traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to a range of environmental impacts such as rising global temperatures, sea level rise, and more frequent extreme weather events. Switching to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
