The exploitation of fossil fuels for the production of electricity manifests itself through the emission of greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. Global warming, soil acidification, air and water pollution, and ozone holes have all resulted from the emission of greenhouse gases (CO2, SO2, and NOx). In addition, the exploitation of fossil fuels leads to the devastation of ecosystems, destruction of natural habitats, and reduction of biodiversity. The continuous increase in the consumption of fossil fuels for electricity production results in increased emission of greenhouse gases. The long-term negative consequences are visible through climate change, ecosystems, and human health. The amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere leads to an increase in Earth's surface temperature, causing changes in ecosystems, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and other extreme weather conditions. Air pollution associated with the exploitation of fossil fuels has negative and harmful effects on human health. People suffer from respiratory diseases, heart problems, and cancer. Water pollution has negative effects on aquatic ecosystems, endangering plant and animal life as well as human health. In order to reduce the negative impact of fossil fuel exploitation on the environment, it is necessary to promote sustainable production of electricity from environmentally friendly sources of energy. This contributes to reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, preserving the environment, and creating a sustainable energy future.
