fossilfueldriven

fossilfueldriven is a term used to describe systems, economies, or societies that heavily rely on the consumption of fossil fuels for energy and operation. This reliance means that the majority of energy needs are met through the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas. Such a dependency often implies significant carbon emissions contributing to climate change and other environmental concerns like air and water pollution. Economies that are fossilfueldriven are susceptible to fluctuations in global fossil fuel prices and supply. Transitioning away from a fossilfueldriven model typically involves investing in and adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, as well as improving energy efficiency. The term highlights the current state of many global systems and the challenges associated with achieving sustainability and decarbonization.
