Answer 1

Answer:

Fossil fuel use will most likely increase in developing countries as a direct result as they shift from agricultural economies to industrial economies.

Explanation:

All industries need the power to run. And in today's date, the most relied upon source of power generation is fossil fuels. When developing countries act to become industrial economies, the first thing they need to look for is the source of power to run the industries.

If sources other than fossil fuels are to be used for generation of power, the economy has to bear a huge initial set up cost. Though the alternative resources are costly and clean, they are still very less efficient than fossil fuels in producing energy. Hence, newly emerging industrial economies prefer using fossil fuels.
