Disadvantage- Fossil fuels are nonrenewable. Once you burn a gallon of oil, it’s gone for good
– and fossil fuels will run out. It’s estimated we have just 100 years of coal production left, 50
years of crude oil, and 50 years of natural gas.

Advantage- A cheap source of energy.Fossil fuels are relatively cheap. It’s relatively easy to
find and produce these fuels, and there was a huge supply.
