Fossil fuels are gas, oil, and coal. They run this economy and our problem is that without them our machines wouldn't run, the cars would be dead, and heat/cooling wouldn't exist. Many products contain oil and those couldn't be produced. We are dependent on fossil fuels. The whole problem with this is that we don't have enough and buring them causes green houses gases, so we will need to come up with newer ways to meet our needs.
