Pros And Cons Of Fossil Fuels

In a balanced energy regime, fossil fuels should be used only in specific areas with a limited allowance each year. In the future, fossil fuels can be used in less developed area with limited exposure to high-end technology, and it can be stored in fixed quantities as a kind of back up energy sources. I have several reasons behind my proposal. As mentioned in the book, fossil fuels have several major disadvantages. As a result, it should be gradually phased out. The author mentioned that mining itself can cause damages to human beings, generate greenhouse gases and acid rains, and cause mountaintop destructions. However, comparing to clean energies, fossil fuels have their unique advantages even in a balanced energy regime. For example, just
like oil, fossil fuels can be easily transported to remote areas of a country without much difficulties. As mentioned by the author, it is relatively hard for cleaner energies like wind energy to be transported to distant places. Also, fossil fuels are relatively independent of weather, temperature, or other similar conditions. Without proper sunshine, sun energy cannot be easily collected, while fossil fuels are always out there available for our usage.
