Fossil Fuels – Facts and Figures

• At present, fossil fuels make up about 90% of the world’s commercial energy supply.
• About a third of all the oil used on the planet is used to run cars, trucks, buses, and other motor vehicles.
• Scientists have predicted that the Earth’s supplies of fossil fuels will not last much longer, if we keep using them at the rate we are now. Some believe that our current oil reserves will only last a matter of decades.

These are good reasons to think about using other forms of energy to produce electricity and to power vehicles, and to start reducing our energy consumption now.
