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.
Fossil fuels = Pollution. That is a fact that we are all aware of. Unlike solar powered energy, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources. Not only do they take years to form, but the rate of use is far greater than the rate of formation.In addition to being non-renewable, fossil fuels also produce around 21.3 billion tons of CO2 each year.According to scientists and environmentalists, CO2 is our global warming contributor that causes the average surface temperature of the Earth to rise.n addition to being non-renewable, fossil fuels also produce around 21.3 billion tons of CO2 each year.
