Fossil Fuels

Mr. Anderson's video on fossil fuels covers their formation, types, and uses. It explains how coal, petroleum, and natural gas are formed in anaerobic environments and discusses their advantages, such as high energy content, and disadvantages, including environmental impacts and non-renewability. The video also highlights the global distribution of fossil fuel reserves and the concept of peak oil. It emphasizes the need to transition to renewable energy sources due to the finite nature of fossil fuels.
