Question

any help appreciated, giving out 10 points as soon as i can for most relevant and best answer

Answer 2

CO2 is causing pollution of the air and contributing to global warming. i do not agree to alternative solutions being cheaper. actually, fossil fuels is cheaper, that is why most other countries(china) are using fossil fuels as their main source of energy.the need for alternative resources is urgent but it will take time before they become wide spread and cheaper

Answer 3

too much CO2 produced. They are non renewable i.e. once depleted there wn't be any formed. Alternative sources are cheaper, renewable and less pollutant.

Answer 4

Fossil fuels are not renewable. The are costly to aquire, toxic to the environment, and have been at the centre of many geopolitical problems.

Another big problem is that it is costly and dangerous to transport.

Countries that are nowhere near a source of petroleum end up at a disadvantage.

The world has more than enough sunlight and wind to power our cities, the problem is that we are not set up to take advantage of these sources of energy.

The initial cost to build the infrastructure for Hydrogen cars would be very great. This tends to turn people off. People don't want to make the investment.
