0 fuels, such as gas, coal, and oil, that were formed underground from plant and animal remains millions of years ago
1 a fuel such as gas, coal, and oil that has been produced in the earth from plants and animals
A development of this sort, together with new power sources to replace the fossil fuels on which factory, home, and vehicle now depend, might also all but eliminate the growing smog and air-pollution blight.
In recent times, agriculture has become a major fossil fuel energy user.
The impression given is that fossil fuel use will continue to rise, and that coal is the fuel of the future.
Our calculations indicate that rotation and no-till systems use substantially less fossil fuel in comparison to conventional systems.
For each farm type (conventional, rotation and no-till) we estimated average yearly fossil fuel energy use.
As fossil fuel reserves diminish, alternative renewable sources of energy will be needed to sustain economic growth.
Our model of baseline fossil fuel consumption allows autonomous energy efficiency improvements.
The model's dynamics derive from fossil fuel depletion, productive capital accumulation, and the putty/semi-putty specification of technology.
