Fossil fuels, including crude oil and natural gas, are the primary energy and raw material sources that enable numerous aspects of modern daily life and the world economy. Although petroleum products make life easier, finding, producing, moving, and burning them have negative effects on the environment. What are the major disadvantages of using fossil fuels? What alternatives are out there without the disadvantages?

00:01 When we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of petroleum as a fossil fuel, we often refer to coal, the advantages and disadvantages of petroleum in comparison to coal.
00:15 So using petroleum as a fuel, there are several advantages.
00:21 One advantage is that it is convenient to transport, far easier to transport than coal.
00:29 Imagine putting coal in your automobile rather than gasoline.
00:35 It's also relatively abundant, and it's a relatively abundant liquid.
00:41 The liquid has advantages because it is easier to transport.
00:45 Coal you have to put on trains and petroleum, not only easier to transport in your car, but also easier to transport through pipelines rather than having to put it on a train and transport it with a locomotive...
