Advantages
- Produce a lot of energy, relatively cheaply
- Are not dependant upon the weather like most renewable energy sources, so they are reliable.
- We have lots of fossil fuel power stations already, so we don't need to spend money on new technology to use them.
|
Disadvantages
- All three fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when burnt, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
- Burning coal and oil releases sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere, causing acid rain, which has a huge impact on wildlife.
- Eventually they are going to run out.
