Gold Filled Asteroids
Renewable Energy
Unattainable Energy
Unobtanium mined on Pandora
The three fossil fuels that provide most of the energy we use:
Natural Gas from Cows, Pigs, and Humans
Canola Oil, Natural Gas, and Crude Oil
Coal, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas
Coal, Ethanol, and Vin Diesel
One disadvantage to using fossil fuels for our energy needs:
Environmental impacts such as: oil spills, water pollution, upsetting Marvin the Martian, having to mine Unobtanium from Pandora, the 'Blue House Effect,' etc.
There are no disadvantages to using fossil fuels.
Environmental impacts such as: too much energy, too many shopping malls, incredibly clean water, etc.
Environmental impacts such as: oil spills, air pollution, land pollution, water pollution, the 'Green House Effect', etc.
