Are fossil fuels limited?
Yes, fossil fuels are limited. A highly controversial debate is what the world will do once fossil fuels run out.
What are 3 examples why it is important for the US to become less dependent on fossil fuels?
we have a limited supply of them and they cause pollution
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
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 are fossil fuels called finite resources?
because they are limited resources.
Why is their limited supply of fossil fuels on earth?
They take a LONG time to make.

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 scientist concern about burning fossil fuels?
Because it is considered a non-renewable resource, meaning there is a limited supply of it. They are concerned because at the rate we are using fossil fuels they won't last us much longer.

Why do you think the supply of Fossil Fuels is limited?
Yes. It takes the earth millions of years to make a barrel of oil. Fossil fuels are non-renewable fuel sources. The "available supply" may increase due to new discoveries but the earth's total resources or supply of these fuels is finite, and diminishes as we use them. Fossil Fuels are made when something gets covered and so much pressure is on that thing it turns into oil. The UAE is a place with a lot of Fossil Fuels because the sand covers any animal of thing that dies there.

How is the US' consumption of fossil fuels affecting the supply and demand of these products?

Explain why some fuels are fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are simply fuels that are made from fossilized animal or plant matter. These fuels are non- renewable and is a limited resource.
Why are people trying to minimize the use of fossil fuels?
Because the more we burn fossil fuels the more it contributes to negative climate change such as global warming through the greenhouse effect. Fossil fuels are also a in limited supply and so we need to cut back or come up with other solutions.
