    Fossil fuels are natural fuels like coal and gas that are formed from the remains of ancient living organisms. While fossil fuels are widely available, low-cost, and provide high energy output, employing many, they are a finite resource that emits large amounts of greenhouse gases and causes environmental damage. The document outlines pros and cons of fossil fuels, and concludes that while they are currently the primary energy source, developing renewable alternatives is necessary due to the pollution and damage caused by fossil fuel usage.

    FOSSIL FUELS

    What are fossil fuels?


    A fossil fuel is a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological
    past from the remains of living organisms.
    Pros and cons
    Pros Cons
    • Widely available around the • Finite resource
    globe • Large greenhouse gas emitter
    • low cost per unit energy including CO2
    • High energy output • Environmentally damaging, with
    • Employs millions of people potential catastrophic damage
    globally from large oil spills
    • The primary source of all plastics • Produces smog which harms
    human health
    My opinion
    It’s difficult to take a decision about the use of fossil fuels, because at
    the moment they are the biggest source of energy and they’re also
    available in large quantities.
    Unfortunately, on the other hand, their use is polluting and heavily
    damaging the Earth.
    For these reasons, at the moment, it’s difficult to find a solution, but it’s
    necessary to develop a research for a new renewable energy source for
    the future.
