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.

Fossil Fuels =)
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming.

the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Wood was often used for heating. Wax candle were used for lighting.
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.

No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
Fossil fuels.
All fuels by definition are used to produce energy, fossil fuels are no exception. (Shorter answer: Yes.)
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
