The county was named for the Ottawa Indians, but comes from the Algonquian term adawe, meaning to buy and sell or trade and traffic.
Yet fossil fuels are finite resources and they can also irreparably harm the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the burning of fossil fuels was responsible for 79 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2010.These gases insulate the planet, and could lead to potentially catastrophic changes in the earthâs climate.echnologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by fossil fuels, and nuclear energy can be a zero-carbon alternative for electricity generation. But other, more sustainable solutions exist: energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is a problem because the burning of these fuels in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (CO2).This is causing global warming and climate change.: The combustion (burning) of fossil fuels releases poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Oil/Petrol, for instance, is a Hydrocarbon (a mix of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms) and when burnt with Oxygen creates Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide.
