Peat
Peat is a resource that should not be used. There is very little energy that can be taken from it, and the negatives are outstanding. For instance, when peat catches fire (which happens frequently), the fires help speed up global warming. Wouldn't trying to prevent that be the goal of using an alternative fuel? It just makes no sense! What we should be doing is cut back on the massive amounts of fuel we use daily. But, based on the people in our society these days, that's highly unlikely -.-

I disagree on this one. Peat is a renewable resource similarly to wood or biomass, so burning peat would not increase the CO2 levels greatly. I do not see large effects on Global Climate change by peat. It is cheap and easy to use. It provides a large amount of energy in Russia and Ireland. I think that US should also utilize it.
