Keeping in mind their availability in nature explain why should coal and petroleum be used judiciously also mention the alternative source of energy?

• Coal and petroleum are fossil fuel and non renewable sources of energy.

• Their formation naturally takes place in thousands of years.

• If we keep using them at this rate, then a day will come where all the coal and petroleum will be finished.

• Hence, the coming future generation will face the consequences of our misuses and mistakes.

• So, in order to prevent their depletion in the future, the coal and petroleum should be used judiciously.

The alternative sources of energy are:

1. Solar energy:

Solar energy is obtained from sun. It is a renewable source of energy and can be used as an alternative source of energy.

2. Wind energy:

The energy obtain from the wind is renewable energy.

3. Tidal energy:

The use of water to generate the energy is called tidal energy.

4. Geothermal power:

It is extracting energy from the ground around us.

5. Biofuels:

Biofuels make use of animal and plant life to create energy.
