Is Fossil fuel the better way to generate electricity?

As we all know that the fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity so their burning causes different kinds of air pollutants to enter the air which causes us to be ill or sometimes is the cause of death. These gases are not only polluting the air but also destroying the ozone layer which absorbs ultraviolet rays coming from the sun and can cause cataracts and skin cancer, When there is rain the oxides of nitrogen mix with rain water and forms nitric acid which is the cause of forest destruction.Load shading is a way to conserve these fuels but we can not stand 4 or 6 hours of load shading. Then I suppose the government should do a limited load shading which should be scheduled and short.

Teacher we can conserve electricity by using solar power and conserving electricity by switching of unused switches.
