| - Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years. Fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. They range from volatile materials with low carbon:hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquid petroleum to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. Methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields, alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates. The theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over millions of years (see biogenic theory) was first introduced by Georg Agricola in 1556 and later by Mikhail Lomonosov in the 18th century. The Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2007 the primary sources of energy consisted of petroleum 36.0%, coal 27.4%, natural gas 23.0%, amounting to an 86.4% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world. Non-fossil sources in 2006 included hydroelectric 6.3%, nuclear 8.5%, and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%. World energy consumption was growing about 2.3% per year. Although fossil fuels are continually being formed via natural processes, they are generally considered to be non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and the known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made. The use of fossil fuels raises serious environmental concerns. The burning of fossil fuels produces around 21.3 billion tonnes (21.3 gigatonnes) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, but it is estimated that natural processes can only absorb about half of that amount, so there is a net increase of 10.65 billion tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide per year (one tonne of atmospheric carbon is equivalent to 44/12 or 3.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide). Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that enhances radiative forcing and contributes to global warming, causing the average surface temperature of the Earth to rise in response, which the vast majority of climate scientists agree will cause major adverse effects. A global movement towards the generation of renewable energy is therefore under way to help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

While critics of industrial nations' energy "policies" often accuse first-world nations of being "addicted" to fossil fuels, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, most nations could quit at any time, and America can't believe that bitch called social services on it. Because understanding the origin of fossil fuels requires a belief in an earth more than twenty years old (as well as at least a rudimentary understanding of geology, science, and reason) their existence is hotly disputed by fundamentalist Christians, who refer to coal and oil as "Satan's stool" and "Satan's semen" respectively. It is a generally held belief that most economically viable sources of fossil fuels will be exhausted by the year 1972. When the world runs out of fossil fuels, it is widely believed that most societies will fall back on the rich grease reserves in 1970's John Travoltas hair or the infernal "fear machines" previously banned by the Catholic Church in 1579. Studies showing that the rich timber reserves of Narnia could be harvested to meet the world's energy needs are inconclusive, as it is unclear whether that old professor will permit earth moving equipment into his walk-in closet.
- Fossil fuels are an energy rich resource which is converted to electricity in power stations. The main and primary fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gases. All fossils are mainly composed of hydrocarbons, but some fossil fuels contain more of it than others. Fossil fuels are found underground, and are combustible deposits of decayed animals, micro organisms and plants. Fossil fuels are formed from animals and plants that had died millions of years ago. When they died, they got buried under many layers of sediment that accumulated. They were also subjected to steadily increasing heat and high pressure from the weight of the sediment above them. Through these conditions, and after millions of years, they eventually got chemically transformed into hydrocarbons from the organic material that died. This doesn't happen with all organisms that die, as most get destroyed by oxidation, and by micro organisms that feed on them. Organisms that don't get destroyed either get buried under sediment or get deposited in areas of low oxygen. One of the main places where it would survive would be if it died along the continental shelves or in a sedimentary basin, which is a depression in the Earth’s crust where sediment is able to accumulate. Sediment may be several thousand feet deep in a basin, and would exert pressures of over tens of thousands of pound per square inch and temperatures of several hundred degrees.

With global modernization in the 20th and 21st centuries, the thirst for energy from fossil fuels, especially gasoline derived from oil, is one of the causes of major regional and global conflicts. A global movement toward the generation of renewable energy is therefore underway to help meet the increased global energy needs.
