Fossil fuels are still being used today as our main source of energy, from oil, gas, as well as electricity. Meanwhile, fossil will not always be a reliable solution for fuel as the problems it brings together when producing it, where it might become the problem for any living things in the future. Many agree that there should be more research and development of safe alternatives to fossil fuels as the top global priority nowadays.
While fossils are a good source of producing energy, it will be a mistake if we are always dependent on it. As fossil fuels come from decomposing plants and animals from the prehistoric era, there will be time where all of the fossils are consumed and we need to wait for another million years to be able to harvest another.
Fossils become a fuel by burning the decomposing plants and animals high in carbon into the energy where it releases a lot of carbon dioxide. A lot of carbon dioxide that is released into the air can stay in our atmosphere and act as a blanket that traps the sun rays that enter the earth and keep bouncing it rays inside the atmosphere which makes our earth warmer. This leads to global warming which can lead to global disaster such as floods from the melting of Antarctica’s ice, forest fires, and the others.
Although nowadays cars that are not using gas have already been invented, it’s still using electricity as its main source of power where some electricity still comes from fossils. Researchers need to keep exploring other options that eliminate the total usage of fossils or our dependency on fossils.
To conclude, it is very easy to realize that we are dependent on fossils as our main source of energy for our daily needs. On the other hand, the problems within its usage also starts to be an inevitable disaster in the future if there is no action plan for this issue. Thus, exploration and development of safe alternatives should be the highlight of global priority.
