Ethanol fuel, a type of biofuel, causes environmental damage. It produces carbon dioxide and water vapour, which are the two major greenhouse gases. Also, the production of ethanol fuel, combustion, gives off carbon dioxide. Growing crops such as corn to produce ethanol fuel has not only reduced food production, but also sparked debates of 'food over fuel'.

Drawbacks:

Oil, a fossil fuel, must be transported from the drilling site, to the refinery. Oil is subject to spillage during shipping, and harms marine environments when spilled into the ocean. Burning fossil fuels also releases sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain. It also releases particulates, which harm organisms, including people.
