The True Cost of Fossil Fuels: Beyond Price

Fossil fuels have powered progress for centuries, but their hidden costs are staggering. Beyond the price at the pump or power meter lie the environmental and health tolls — polluted air, rising sea levels, and disrupted ecosystems.

Communities near extraction sites face soil degradation and poor air quality, while the planet bears the burden of carbon emissions that accelerate global warming. The real cost of fossil fuels isn’t measured in dollars, but in the damage left behind. Transitioning to renewable energy is not just economical — it’s essential for survival.
