Fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil provide most
of the energy used by industry and consumers in the United
States. These non-renewable sources of energy impact land,
water, and air across geographical scales. The U.S. contains
5 percent of the world's population and consumes 27 percent
of the world's oil. In the long run, achieving sustainability
will require that energy be produced by cleaner and more efficient
technologies, be used more efficiently and with greater conservation,
and be developed from renewable resources.
