The major types of fuel are oil, natural gas, and coal. A pro to using oil is that it provides energy to wide amount of people. A con to using oil is that is extraction and usage releases excess CO2 into the air and it most likely will run out. A pro to using natural gas is that it provides natural energy from methane. A con is that during the extraction of natural gas the process of fracking!, the gases can infiltrate the water ta"le and cause harm to all who rely on that water ta"le. A "enefit to using coal is that it provides heat and electricity. A downside to coal is that it releases soot into the air degrading the air #uality.

What are Greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gasses are defined as any gases that contribute to absorbing infrared radiation. Such gases include Carbon Dioxide and CFCs (Chloro Floro Carbon!. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring (CO"!# ho$e%er human technology has greatly increased greenhouse gases and created ne$ ones (CFCs!. CFCs $ere de%elo&ed &rimarily in the '()*s.
