Answers
Explanation:
Advantages of using fossil fuels
At the moment, fossil fuels are relatively cheap and easy to obtain. This may not always be the case.
Much of our infrastructure is designed to run using fossil fuels.
Disadvantages of using fossil fuels
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources. Their supply is limited and they will eventually run out whereas fuels such as wood can be renewed endlessly.
Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.
Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide when they burn, which adds to the greenhouse effect and increases global warming. Of the three fossil fuels, for a given amount of energy released, coal produces the most carbon dioxide and natural gas produces the least.
