It is used to generate electricity and to produce steel. Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. It is used to generate electricity, to heat homes and businesses, and to power vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Fossil fuels are a major source of energy in the United States, but they are also a major source of pollution. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. Fossil fuels are also non-renewable, which means that they will eventually run out.<\/p>\n<p>The United States is working to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and to increase its use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. However, fossil fuels are likely to remain a major source of energy in the United States for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: 10%.
