      Problems associated with using fossil fuel:
      - Using fossil fuel is, virtually, burning it. This burning process leads to emission of gasses to the atmosphere, which elevates the temperature (due to the greenhouse effect). Temperature rise melts glaciers and elevates the sea level, which may, eventualy, erode islands and damage agriculture.
      - Using fossil fuel creates dependancy in that fuel, and if and when it ends, it would probably be impossible to replace.
