Abstract
To many in the sustainability community, fossil energy is an anathema. Continued use of fossil resources – oil, coal, and natural gas – poses threats to the environment through the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The fact that they are a limited or exhaustible resource means that in the future we could either run out of them or their extraction will get progressively harder to a point that it takes more energy to extract them than would be derived from their use. Using fossil energy is clearly not sustainable, and the world has to look to renewable resources for longterm survival.
