Fossil Fuels - How important are they to us?

Question

How important are they? What do we use them for?

Answer 1

Fossil fuel is currently our major source of
energy. Our current complex society would
collapse without it.
Consider:
No public water supply, (most places).
no lights,
no phones,
no computer net,
no mass media,
no transportation of people and goods,
(ships, planes, trucks, trains, autos.)

Answer 2

Our entire economy is based upon them for a start!

We use fossil fuels for everything.

For example.
Your computer was made from them (or certainly using them to make it). Youre using the energy from burned fossil fuels to power your computer.

If you live in a well off country, its likely that everything man made around you has used up some fossil fuels, and uses fossil fuels to run.
