Clean energy technologies like wind and solar power produce energy without burning fossil fuels. Other technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency or by capturing these gases before they can enter the atmosphere. Fossil fuels can generate a large amount of electricity at a single location.
They can be found very easily.
They are cost-effective.
Transportation of oil and gas can be done easily through pipelines.
They have become safer over time.
Despite being a finite resource, it is available in plenty.
