It is more plentiful, most likely a never ending supply. It is renewable (through the natural process of evaporation/rain). It requires no refining (processing). It is cleaner, no emissions, better for the environment. It is safer (no refinery explosions or oil spills).

What is another name for burning fossil fuels?

Hydro-carbons is another name for fossil fuels.


How can you slow down the use of fossil fuels?

We can slow the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) by educating people on the reasons for global warming.We can also move to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal among others).


How do you stop burning fossil fuels?

Most of our modern civilisation relies on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). We burn them in transport, industry and to generate electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. To stop burning fossil fuels we have to change to renewable energy(solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).


What would you do if fossil fuels run out?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) willrun out. We have to move to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) for our energy needs. As these are non-polluting it is important that we do this quickly.


Why do we need alternative energy to fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are damaging our environment with greenhouse gases. We need to get renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) working everywhere so we can stop burning coal and oil. Fossil fuels are not renewable. There is only a limited supply. We need to keep fossil oil for making plastic, a really useful invention.

How does hydro power best break your dependence on oil and fossil fuels?

Hydro power is clean, green and renewable, with no carbon dioxide emissions. Moving to hydro and other renewable energies means we can break our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for ever.
