Fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy sources. Someday, they will run out. There are three main types: petroleum (a type of oil), natural gas, and coal (made from the unclear remains of ancient animals). Fossil fuels are a huge problem. They are taking over renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro) and terrorizing the enviroment. Oil spills make marine life very sick. Natural gas makes air impossible to breathe. Burning coal hurts the air. Due to fossil fuels, there is now a hole in the ozone layer. The apocalypse is already happening. Fossil fuels also cause global warming, which is the warming of the planet. Renewable energy sources can save us, but they have a catch. Solar power can be blocked by the sun. Nobody has heard of hydropower, but the main catch is that there may not be water nearby. Wind power can obstruct birds during migration season. Still, these catches can be solved with technology, stored energy, and a whole lot of money. Fossil fuels aren't just ruining the enviroment. They're ruining people too. This is where it gets political, so I recommend 8-year olds look for the translation after this. The president of America has now uh, taken the liff of the president of Venezuela to get oil. Your parents have probably read the news. Now here is the 8-year old translation: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. In conclusion, DON'T USE FOSSIL FUELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
