Governments should make more effort to promote alternative sources of energy. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It has been known for some time now that a move towards sources of
energy
which are not carbon-based is urgently required to stop the effects of global warming. In my view, there are too few
governments
who seem to be promoting the
use
of other types of
energy
such
as
wind
, wave, solar and nuclear sources of
energy
.
Governments
at present are too reliant on

Although
some
governments
are doing research into the
use
of alternative
energy
sources, many are not.
Energy
from the
wind
, the sea and the sun does not pollute the environment and is an everlasting source of
power
. Nuclear
power
is clean, and
although
it is not totally unproblematic, it would provide a large amount of
energy
and dramatically improve the environment. Countries
such
as France have made good
use
of nuclear
power
. My feeling is that more
use
could be made of
wind
power
. In some countries, there has been a reluctance to
use
wind
turbines, even in areas which are not densely populated, as some people believe they are eyesores. Personally, I believe they are not only useful

Governments
should spend more time and effort promoting the benefits of
this

and trying to make the public understand the reason for

then
they would manage to avert the dangers that are seriously threatening the Earth.
