We use fossil fuels for energy to power our lights and cars.

2. Fossil fuels are a cheap source for energy used throughout the world.

3. Fossil fuels are reliable. Other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind rely on the current climatic conditions to produce electricity.

4.  Fossil fuels have created numerous jobs. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Energy, traditional energy sector employs about 6.4 million Americans today.

5. Fossil Fuels are easier to extract and process and are capable to produce large amount of energy at a single location.

2. Pollution-related diseases kill millions of children a year.

3. Oil spills can cause animals to die such as fish choking, birds not being able to fly, and turtles need the come to the surface but cannot help but breath or swallow the oil.

4. Nonrenewable energy sources are destined to run out in the near future.  In fact, they're projected to run out in the next 50 years.

5. Toxic elements as a result of fossil fuel combustion can cause serious health complications such as asthma and heart diseases.]]> 2017-12-05 16:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarallen_villa/nm5mtoaap6hj/wish/213378607 Sources edgarallen_villa https://padlet.com/edgarallen_villa/nm5mtoaap6hj/wish/213382530 1. https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/pros-and-cons-of-fossil-fuels.php

However, there is currently a lot of hot debate over the use of fossil fuels – is it right to use them? Are they safe to use? Should we be trying to cut down how much we use year on year? Nowadays, we are finding more and more alternatives to fossil fuels, including more renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind and hydro power. The most common fossil fuels are coal, natural gas and petroleum, all of which have been formed over millions of years." - CEF (Conserve Energy Fuels).]]> 2017-12-07 15:48:40 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarallen_villa/nm5mtoaap6hj/wish/214173717 Location edgarallen_villa https://padlet.com/edgarallen_villa/nm5mtoaap6hj/wish/214181796 "Fossil fuels are not distributed evenly across the Earth.

We should also increase vehicle fuel efficiency (electric cars) and support other solutions that reduce oil use (solar energy). We could finally place limits on the amount of pollution and carbon that is released into the air so we can have cleaner and more fresh air.]]> 2017-12-08 15:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/edgarallen_villa/nm5mtoaap6hj/wish/214540985
