Inc. The list of environmental consequences of the use of non-renewable fuels are daunting and the effects global. Fossil and nuclear fuel use harms both the physical and the political environments. The damage to the landscape is in some ways easier to discern, but just as harmful is the distortion and harm done by the political machinations required to ensure a continuous flow of energy supplies. The harm is not only local but global in scope.
Good evidence exists of global warming and the culprit is burning fossil fuels.
Acid rain is damaging forests and crops far from the sources and sometimes in a different country. The use of uranium leads to hazards from air pollution to core meltdown. The storage of spent fuel, cooling fluids, building materials and more is so daunting that 40 years of work has not found a satisfactory solution. The politics of oil is amazing, making friends of enemies and enemies of friends. And yet, on a global timescale, it will soon be over.
