Why not petroleum oil? Fossil Fuels Petroleum is a fossil fuel, a resource that has a finite supply within our earth. Beginning 150 years ago, when technology needed a fuel with greater efficiency and power, a system was developed to extract and refine oil to make fuel. Since then, we have been depleting the supply of fossil fuels at an increasing rate. By 1930, 17 billion barrels of oil had been extracted worldwide. By 1970, over 17 billion barrels of oil were being extracted each year. According to the U.S Department of Energy, if the worldwide rate of consumption of oil remained constant at the current amount of 24 billion barrels of oil per year, we would run out of oil in 2040. As the amount of oil within the earth continues depleting the price will continue to rise. Fossil fuels shrink the economy of a country; money spent on importing foreign petroleum oil could be put towards local economy, resulting in greater sustainability. Effects on the earth The extraction, refining, and use of fossil fuels cause permanent damage to the earth. In the combustion process of an automotive engine carbon and oxygen are combined to form carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, therefore one of the causes to global warming. Greenhouse gases act like a glass bubble around the earth, letting sunlight into the earth’s atmosphere but not letting it out. For every gallon (3.8 liters) of gasoline that a car burns, 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. With the increased number of cars, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher today than they have been in 160,000 years and are still increasing each year. With the evidence that fossil fuels are causing global warming, and the fact that there is a limited amount within our earth, we must look to alternate fuel sources for the future of our planet. Renewable Fuels Renewable fuels are replenishable, they form from plants transforming solar energy into chemi
