Fossil fuels are essential for producing electricity, powering industry and fueling transportation. However, one day we will reach a point when all the world's fossil fuels have been depleted. How can we conserve these resources? What are some alternatives to fossil fuels?

#fuels #electricity #industry #transportation #point #world #resources #alternatives
The world is currently reliant on oil, coal and natural gas for the majority of its
energy
 requirements and there will come a time when these run out.
This
 essay will demonstrate how we can help to prevent our non-renewable resources from becoming depleted and it will name some natural forces that can be harnessed to generate
power
. Conserving
power
 is a responsibility for every individual and an important way in which we can all do our bit is to use more
energy
-efficient means of transport. The easiest way to do
this
 is to leave the car at home and walk or cycle to our destination if it is not too far away, or take public transport for longer journeys. An alternate solution to reduce our fuel consumption is to car-share. Whenever my friends and I get together for a coffee, we agree to go to a cafe without having to drive our cars there. We usually go there on foot or take a bike. If everyone could make a decision like
this
, it would make a real difference. The most sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel are the generation of
power
 from natural forces
such
 as the sun, wind, and oceans. Solar and wind
power
 are already widely used across the world but it is wave
power
 and tidal efficiency that have the greatest untapped potential to provide for our
energy
 needs in the future. A report commissioned in the United Kingdom estimated that tidal
power
 could meet as much as 20% of the UK's current electricity demands once the technology being developed is operational. Wave
energy
 converters are expected to prove equally successful in the long term. In conclusion, our earth's reserves of fossil fuel will not
last
 forever and we need to be continually developing new technologies to enable us to harness
energy
 from renewable sources
such
 as the sun, wind and water. In the meantime, we can help to slow the rate of depletion by leaving the car at home and using more
energy
-efficient forms of transport whenever possible.
