advantages of mineral resources
What Are Some Disadvantages Of Mineral Resource?
Limited supplies - few decades to a century...
Burning releases CO2 into atmosphere and enhances greenhouse effect
Geographically limited supplies make some regions dependent on others for energy.
Huge capital investments for drilling, mining, etc, but generates very few jobs.
Disadvantages do not ensure a shift away from use of fossil fuels because its not realistic to do so until the costs and supply of other energy resources compete with fossil fuel costs and supply.
