DID YOU KNOW ABOUT – FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY
The problems associated with fossil fuel use are that the extraction of fossil fuels causes local environmental problems including noise, dust, and groundwater pollution. The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases and other harmful particulate into the atmosphere causing wider environmental problems
Fossil fuels are a finite energy source that will eventually run out. As fossil fuel reserves run low, the cost of retrieving them will increase significantly, making this form of energy production more expensive than others.
Our current modes of energy production mean that our energy demands are leading to huge emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which is a direct cause of enhanced greenhouse effect, that is responsible for global climate change. |
