Non-renewable energy (fossil fuels)
5 min
Most of the world’s energy still comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and drive global warming.

The following series of blog posts describe each source of energy, giving details on their production, use and environmental impact.
