Wood was often used for heating. Wax candle were used for lighting.
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
four advantages for fossil fuels: Fossil fuels have high energy density, are readily transportable, are usable with current infrastructure, and
Chemical potential energy
chemical energy
Well, fossil fuels are burned which heat boilers, this creates steam which spins turbinescreating electricity.
The sequence of energy transformations when electricity is generated from fossil fuels begins with the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, or natural gas. When these fuels are burned, this chemical energy is converted into thermal energy, producing heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. Finally, the mechanical energy of the turbine is transformed into electrical energy through a generator.
Approximately 60% of the energy generated in Ontario comes from fossil fuels, predominantly natural gas and nuclear power. Renewables such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar make up the remainder.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Depends on how the energy has been generated. Energy from renewable sources is fairly OK, energy from fossil fuels not quite so.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.

Fossil Fuels =)
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
No, electricity is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels refer to natural resources like coal, oil, and natural gas, which are derived from ancient organic matter and are burned to produce energy. Electricity is a form of energy that can be generated from various sources, including fossil fuels, renewable resources (like wind and solar), and nuclear energy.
Fossil fuels.
The burning of wood is likely one of the ealiest generation of energy. Other forms of energy creation are watermills and wind mills. See attached links. You can find more links by doing a search of the internet.
