    Fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas are non-renewable resources formed from prehistoric plants and animals that died millions of years ago. While they provide large amounts of easily accessible electricity at a low cost, their combustion emits carbon dioxide and other pollutants that contribute to climate change and acid rain. However, fossil fuel extraction and transportation technologies have improved safety over time, and reserves remain plentiful despite being a finite resource.
