One of the most damaging of these environmental issues is the use of
fossil fuels resulting global warming due to the release of carbon dioxide (CO2)
into the atmosphere. The world’s dependency on fossil fuels has also led to
depleting supplies creating a need to develop alternative energy sources.
Fossil fuels are used to supply energy for many applications such as industry
and farming but the use of fossil fuels for transport is by far the most
extensive.
