If there is one energy source we are try to not use but it so used would be Fossil Fuels. The one energy that is causing this energy crisis we are in. It is, in the most blunt sense, the most disgusting source of fuel. Why? Everyone already knows that the biproduct of this universally used source of energy is Carbon dioxide. And it emits a crap ton of it. No, sorry, it's the machines and the country that uses it that causes this number to rise. Currently, this is measured in metric tons of carbon. Why is this source really so bad? Perhaps a diagram would explain it better.
Fossil fuel nowadays is called what we know as oil/crude oil. But how did it get there. The start of this happened 65 million years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs. And although there was a bit of oil in their time, it had not accumulated to a great extent. When the dinosaurs died, their bodies decomposed into the soil and the ground beneath. Many other living things also died within that time and that also added to this. Over time these decomposing masses let out gas in their compressed spaces. Then layers of non porous and porous rock were compressed on top of it all. The mammals came to be and walked all of the surface of our planet. The layers continued to build, further compressing the bodies. The bodies at our present time would have then liquified under the intense pressure. Have you already guessed why we are experiencing global warming? We are burning the remnants of the past and pushing it into our atmosphere. And all bodies have some form of carbon in them. That's why we measure the amount of carbon each country uses in metric tons.
Among the top countries are: China, the United States, India, Russia, and Japan.
This is one fuel source we have been trying to avoid using. Although we are already too dependent on it to stop, based on how much we utilize it.
There is only a slim hope that we can correct this massive error.
