Best Answer

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.

Why geo thermal should replace fossil fuels?

As fossil fuels are depleting day by day, we need a alternative to it.We that is why need to have other source of fuel.Geo thermal is that is why used now and it should replace fossil fuels.

Why is biomass becoming more important?

Since this world's fossil fuel supply is getting lower, people need to find alternative forms of energy to continue producing electricity. Since biomass is an alternative energy source, its importance is growing in place of fossil fuels.


Why do we need to improve sources of energy that are not fossil fuels?

since fossil fuels can be found almost anywhere in the world we need to improve sources of energy so that they are around the world............


How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.


What are two reasons people need alternative energy resources rather than continuing to use fossil fuels?

We will eventually run out of oil from fossil fuels because it is finite. Worldwide, scientists believe that there is only 500 years of fossil fuels left at the current population increase level. The second reason is that burning these fuels increase greenhouse gases that warm the planet.
