The burning of fossil fuels (oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas) provides the United States with about 90 percent of the energy we use. Before the use of fossil fuels‚ population created an increase in uses for wood as there main source of energy. This caused the rate of wood ’s use to out strip its rate

Climate change and environmental regulations continue to push against the need for increasing energy generation. In the U.S.‚ natural gas has become a popular alternative fuel source for power plants. It is also recognized for its ability to heat homes and serve as fuel for motor vehicles. Natural gas could greatly reduce the United States reliance on oil and coal. Natural gas plants produce about half the CO2 pollution of a typical coal plant‚ and modern facilities greatly reduce pollution from nitrogen

These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. Many nations count on coal‚ oil and natural gas to supply most of their energy needs‚ but reliance on fossil fuels presents a big problem. Fossil fuels are a finite resource. Eventually‚ the world will run out of fossil fuels‚ or it will become too expensive to retrieve those that remain. Fossil
