Why is using too much Energy bad for our Environment?

Energy is used for many things. We use energy when we need electricity, heat , water, etc. Fossil fuels like coal are oftern used to create electricity. Using too much energy is bad for our environment, the burning of these fossil fuels puts tons of C02 in the atmosphere which leads to Global Warming. When you save energy, you save alot of money as well, so that you can can spend it on other important things. Energy cannot be produced without using some resources. The more energy that is required, the more resources must be used to produce it. This applies to renewable energy sources as well. It is better that fo electricity itself is clean, its just the method of getting it that causes environmental concern. The base load of electric use can be generated by the utility company with minimum polution, using water/ gravity , air, solar.
