Answer:
All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis. In the same way that we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun
Energy--and Carbon Dioxide--from the Past
Another problem with our heavy use of fossil fuel is associated with the release of carbon dioxide. By burning fossil fuels, we are not only consuming energy that has been stored for a million years but also releasing carbon that has been stored for a million years. This huge release of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) is overwhelming the natural cycles that balance the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
