Question

Why should fossil fuels not be wasted?

Open in App
Solution

Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas take millions of years to form naturally. They cannot be replaced as fast as they are being consumed. Moreover, it is not possible to make new fossil fuels artificially. If they are overused, they will get exhausted as they are available in nature in limited amount. That is why, they should not be wasted.
