The continent is abundant in fossil fuels.

Those fossil fuels have built our civilization.

We're very hungry for fossil fuels too.

This vast continent is abundant in fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are abundant in that vast continent.

The global food supply relies heavily on fossil fuels.

Saving the cost of fossil fuels Reduction of CO2

We've stumbled on another energy bonanza in fossil fuels.

What we are doing globally is causing climate change as much as, I believe, fossil fuels, and maybe more than fossil fuels.

CA Most of American electricity comes from burning fossil fuels.

CA So how does the world get off fossil fuels?

What is life after fossil fuels going to be like?

A transition from fossil fuels would be a monumental challenge.

Modern agriculture uses land to turn fossil fuels into food

You see, fire made us human fossil fuels made us modern.

But energy policies continued to focus on finding more fossil fuels.

Shouldn't we be thinking hard about how to get off fossil fuels?

Imagine if we said, Oh yes, we can get off fossil fuels.

And when people talk about life after fossil fuels and climate change action,

As most power is generated from fossil fuels, this is not a solution.

We've used fossil fuels, essentially, to grow plants in soil that is otherwise dead.

There are other options for generating power as well, which don't involve fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are needed for farming equipment, transportation, refrigeration, packaging in plastic, and cooking.

The world does not need any more pipelines to wed our addiction to fossil fuels.

Let's look first at the burning fossil fuels, either burning coal or burning natural gas.

We have the reckless burning of fossil fuels along with other greenhouse gasses, so called,

So fossil fuels and collective learning together explain the staggering complexity we see around us.

You know, so humans generate about 12 trillion watts, or 12 terawatts, from fossil fuels.

When this happens, they're compressed under tons of pressure, and turned into carbon based fossil fuels

Chemicals derived from fossil fuels, or Petro chemicals, are essential in the manufacture of countless products.

Is it possible to replace a system based on fossil fuels with a patchwork of alternatives?

You know, we're pumping out lots of CO2 into the atmosphere, from fossil fuels, from cement production.

But instead of placing a rising fee on carbon emissions to make fossil fuels pay their true cost to society, our governments are forcing the public to subsidize fossil fuels by 400 to 500 billion dollars per year worldwide, thus encouraging extraction of every fossil fuel mountaintop removal,

Fossil fuels are not available, and solar energy doesn't cook the way that they like their food prepared.

To replace the 10 terawatts the world currently generates from fossil fuels, would require 10,000 nuclear power plants.

And all the burning of oil and coal and gas, all the fossil fuels, have changed the atmosphere greatly.

But as we found out with addressing CO2 issues, and also fossil fuels, there is no one silver bullet.

As the pressure grew, so did the heat, until a chemical reaction transformed the organics into hydrocarbon fossil fuels

It took nature about 5 million years to create the fossil fuels that the world consumes in 1 year.

But fossil fuels, carbon coal and gas are by no means the only thing that is causing climate change.

Conventional farmers use chemical fertilizers made from fossil fuels that they mix with the dirt to make plants grow.

These observations about the finiteness of easily accessible, local, secure fossil fuels, is a motivation for saying, Well, what's next?
