1 All Roads Lead to Fossil Fuels 1)Heat is released from fuel and boils the water to make steam. 2)The steam turns the turbine. 3)The turbine turns a generator and electricity is produced. 4)The electricity goes to the transformers to produce voltage. These are the steps by which electricity is generated from fossil fuels Electricity powers your house

2 How does getting our food have to do with fossil fuels ? To feed an average family of four uses up ~ 930 gallons of gasoline a year -- just shy of the 1,070 gallons that same family would use up each year to power their cars. - 2008

3 Our renewable energy resources will never run out. And they typically generate far less pollution than fossil fuels. Renewable energy resources include: wind energy water energy, such as wave machines, tidal barrages and hydroelectric power geothermal energy solar energy biomass energy Renewable energy sources
