Coal (apex)
The term fossil energy is uncommon and one is more likely to see the term fossil fuel. One can assume safely that any reference to fossil energy is really an alternative to the use of the term fossil fuel.
That said, both terms are technically inaccurate. Fossils do not provide fuel or energy, but it is merely a linguistic convention to use the terms.
When we say fossil fuels, we mean gas and oil (petroleum) and related hydrocarbon fuel sources that formed from organic matter buried in the earth millions of years ago. These fuels are overwhelmingly the result of anaerobic decomposition of plankton and not larger plants or animals the would possible leave fossils. (There will be some very small component of larger plants an animals in the organic matter.)
Fossil Fuels - Fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals.

a fuel that once used is not reusable and will soon run out and it is made out of fossils sometimes and the fossil fuels are natural gas, coal and oil
Fossil fuel is nonrenewable source energy. :P
Fossil fuels come from things such as plankton, plants and animals that have died and decomposed millions of years ago. This is what oil is made out of.
Fossil energies are fuels formed by natural processes. These are anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms.
Crude oil, natural gas and coal are three non-renewable fossil fuel energy resources. Once used they can not be replaced.

No. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Geothermal energy is a clean renewable energy powered by the heat from the centre of the earth. It is the only renewable energy whose power does not come from the sun.
Fossil fuels were originally either prehistoric zooplankton and algae (which became petroleum) or plant material (which generally became coal). In either case, the living organisms converted the energy of sunlight into their structures. By using the energy of the fossil fuel, we use the energy the original organisms captured, and that's the connection to sunlight.
Nearly all energy on the earth comes originally from the sun - including fossil fuels. To the best of our knowledge, fossil fuels come from the conversion of deposits of matter that was once living into the fuel via lots of pressure, heat, and time after it was buried deep in the crust. The plants that contribute to the fossil fuels got their energy from the sun via photosynthesis. The animals got their energy ultimately from the sun by eating plants that got their energy from the sun by photosynthesis or other animals that ate the plants that got their energy from the sun by photosynthesis.
Geothermal energy can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing energy that would have come from burning fossil fuels. It is basically a fairly clean energy source
Wind, water, solar and many others.
Fossil fuels are energy sources that come from the reamins of plants and animals. These remains are millions of years old.
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
Not all energy sources come from fossil fluels. Fossil fuel energy sources are coal, crude oil. None fossil fuels energy sources are wind power, solar power, tidal power. It is arguable for atomic power , using uranium .
they come from renewable sources

Yes, certainly it does
Fossil Fuels (:
Fossil fuels (hence the name) are natural fuels that come from decayed bodies (humus or fossils) in the earth.
fossil fuels come from non-renewable (will not last forever) energy resources, these non-renewable energy resources (fossil fuels) come from CRUDE OIL, COAL, NATURAL GAS, NUCLEAR, sometimes wood and biomass - this depends on how it is extracted
Yes, that's where it is usually believed that fossil fuels come from - and that's why they are called "fossil" in the first place.
Whatever energy that's been produced in the wind farm has come from renewable sources, which means that thre's less energy that's come from fossil fuels.
