The Great Barrier Reef Is a Record High

The world runs on energy, and no one has found a better source of energy than oil. Fossil fuels don't do you much good if they're in the ground but if people burn them, then it's good for you. I hope that this year the carl on the great barrier reef is record high. Why is there this push to move us from reliable sources of fuel like hydrocarbons too are our modern life style?
