thousands of years for the fossils to turn into fuels but to make then it can take up to two weeks
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt's estimated by scientists that it will run out in around 30 years time. Unless they find a lot more.

How long will fossil fuels likely last if current trends continue?
20 years
How long will the worlds fossil fuels last at the current rate of increase of consumption?
Until the alien comes and destroy us, fossil fuel will last forever
How can you make fosil fuels last longer?
The earth only has a finite amount of fossil fuels. Using them efficiently will help make them last as long as possible. Using fuel efficient cars, taking the bus, and walking more can help make fossil fuels last longer.
Why won't fossil fuels last forever?
Fossil Fuels are created when the remains of plants and creatures are put under extreme pressure for extremely long periods of time. There Isn't an infinite amount of vegetation and creatures that lived that long ago, therefore there isn't an infinite amount of Fossil Fuels.
Why is solar power better than fossil fuels?
it is better than fossil fuels because it is better for our environment and it will last way longer than fossil fuels. :)
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
Has fossil fuel been around million years ago?
Fossil fuels are formed by plant and animal matter that decays differently under immense pressure and large periods of time deep in the earth's crust. As long as there have been plants and animals (subtracting the perhaps million years it takes to actually form the fuel), there have been fossil fuels. In this way, fossil fuels ARE renewable, though it takes a very, very long time. As long as things continue to die and be buried and potentially, to fossilize or decay, there will be fossil fuels, though there is an argument about how long sufficient quantities of these fuels will last.
The majority of the worlds electricity is supplied by burning 2 words?
fossil fuels
Does Australia have enough fossil fuels to last forever?
I would have to say no, because no fossil fuels last forever, as they are nonrenewable resources and the definition of nonrenewable is that they will eventually become nonexistent.
Is Petroleum limited resources?
Petroleum is called "fossil fuel." Fossil fuels are made after a long time out of decaying organisms. Because it takes so long to create fossil fuels, and because it isn't taking us long to use fossil fuels, they are limited. How much petroleum we have left is unknown, but there is a limit.
How long does it take for the earth to make fossil fuels in years at a time?
It takes millions of years for fossil fuels to be naturally formed.
How long will fossil fuels be available for your use?
scientists show that fossil fuels will be nowhere to be found in the next 20 to 30 years
