Fosill fuel, such as gas, oil, coal and others, is still the most consumed form of fuel these days and industries are getting more dependent on this fuel. However, as the amount of this type of fuel is consumed, the damage to the environment increases.
There are, however, other sources of energy that are more efficient, abundant re-usable and occurs naturally in the environment. One of the most abundant, yet not fully utilized, alternative source of energy is the sun. Then there's the wind and there are many other possible alternative energy source that you can see everyday yet we just don't know how to tap it.
