Fossil Fuels Have you ever thought about where your electricity comes from? What the petroleum your car runs on is made of? What produces all the energy you see? Coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas make up the list of major fossil fuels. Almost all energy produced in the United States comes from burning these highly important fuels. That energy powers almost all of our electricity and all of our transportation. We as the people of this very planet are currently in a crisis because fossil fuels are non-renewable;

As we know‚ the sun is the source of most of the energy on our planet. Photosynthesis occurs all around us and is essentially the building block of life. The weight of the earth above the decaying material has provided the environment with the means to convert that material into fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is more

the environment at risk. Air pollution is currently one of the five leading causes of death worldwide and the usage of fossil fuels is a major factor contributing to this. (Future talk: clean renewable energy September 2013). Fossil fuels are finite sources of energy; while the demand for energy will continue to increase‚ there will still be a decrease in amount of fossil fuels available‚ which means humans will need to find other sources of energy. There are numerous sources of alternative energy;
