Some people support the idea of imposing taxes on fossil fuels (oil, coil and gas) in order to reduce energy consumption. Other people disagree with this approach. Consider the debate and its arguments, and come to your own conclusion.

As many countries around the world are developing and modernising, there is more consumerism and a corresponding need for oil, coal and gas.
