What is a reason for not using fossil fuels?
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
Why do we need alternative energy to fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are damaging our environment with greenhouse gases. We need to get renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) working everywhere so we can stop burning coal and oil. Fossil fuels are not renewable. There is only a limited supply. We need to keep fossil oil for making plastic, a really useful invention.
How is solar energy renewable energy?
Well solar energy is renewable because, the sun's rays will never run out. That makes it renewable.Renewable energy sources will never run out and we will have a constant supply of them. And with renewable energy sources, we are not hurting the environment as much as when we use fossil fuels.
Which form of fossil fuel has the longest lasting supply left?
Coal
Why is the supply of fossil fuels limited?
The process of creating fossil fuels takes millions of years and fossil fuels are nonrenewable.
What fossil fuel could supply energy needs for about two hundred years but is linked to acid rain?
Coal
How is wind energy similar to fossil fuels?
wind is similar to fossil fuels because the both supply us with necessary energy
What is a renuable energy source?
Fossil fuels. Anything with a finite supply.
What would likely extend the Earth's supply of a non-renewable resource?
Moving to renewable energy for electricity would extend the Earth's supply of the fossil fuel oil.
What natural resources are used to supply energy?
Fossil fuel, the wind, the Sun, hydro and biomass
Do hybrid cars emit co2?
Yes, they are still using fossil fuel as the energy supply
What three main fossil fuels that supply 90 percent of your energy requirements?
natural gas
What percentage of the total energy supply was provided by fossil fules?
Thsis percentage is approx. 70 %.
Will you run out of fossil fuels or nuclear energy?
Answerfossil fuels, because nuclear energy will always be on earth no matter what.AnswerSince neither fossil fuels nor nuclear fuels are renewable, we will run out of both.Our supply of nuclear may outlast our supply of oil, but it will not outlast our supply of coal or oil shale.The good news is that technology is developing very quickly for renewable energy, so we will probably need neither fossil fuels nor nuclear in the long term.
What resources are limited in supply.?
Nonrenewable resources those in limited supply. A prime example of this is crude oil (fossil fuels). Renewable resources, by contrast, can be replenished, or are in abundant supply (such as wind, solar energy, etc.).
Why is biomass becoming more important?
Since this world's fossil fuel supply is getting lower, people need to find alternative forms of energy to continue producing electricity. Since biomass is an alternative energy source, its importance is growing in place of fossil fuels.
