Fossil fuel is the main source of energy. In some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy is encouraged. To what extent do you think is it a positive or negative development?

In recent years, governments in countries have directed their attention to

alternative

sources of

energy

such

as solar, nuclear or tidal

energy

. In my opinion,

this

trend could be both advantages and disadvantages, as now will be discussed.

To begin

with, there is an ample convincing evidence that renewable

energy

is undoubtedly a step forward in the future.

Firstly

, it is clear that

alternative

energy

is unlimited while fossil fuel will soon exhaust due to the increasing demand today. Already, for

this

reason, depending on non renewable

energy

cannot guarantee long-term sustainability. Human should

therefore

seek for other or additional sources of

energy

which are more reliable and sustainable sooner or later.

Secondly

, environmental pollution is starting to

In addition

, exhaust fumes from vehicles which run on oil or petroleum can

also

contribute to the greenhouse gases and global warming.

However

, if a more eco-friendly source of

power

like solar or wind is used

instead

, our world will become greener and

therefore

, people’s health can be improved. Despite the good impacts mentioned above, I believe that using

alternative

energy

could be detrimental to some extent.

Secondly

,

this

type of

energy

is largely dependent on weather, which may cause interruptions in

supply. It is almost impossible,

power

can be put human’s life in jeopardy. Nuclear radiation accident in Japan is an example, which had led to numerous lethal effects to individuals and disasters to the surrounding environment. In conclusion,

alternative

sources is

unquestionable but

unquestionable, but

its downsides should not be overlooked as well. Governments should

therefore

take serious consideration before coming up with the most suitable type of

for their countries.
