Answer:
​Fossil fuels such as Coal, Oil and Gas are some of the most important natural resources that we use every day. Fossil fuels are used to produce energy; in the home they are burned to produce heat, in large power stations they are used to produce electricity and they are also used to power engines. The reason fossil fuels are so readily used is that they are readily available. Whenever something is readily available and easy to obtain, it becomes cheap to use. This is another reason that fossil fuels are used too commonly in comparison to other energy alternatives.
