Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, are the main source for many countries. However, some nations are using alternative energy such as solar power and wind power. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

It is true that some countries increase their dependence on fossil fuels, but others choose to
use
alternative
sources
of
energy
instead
of the consumption of oil and coal. While I think that the
use
of renewable
sources
brings tangible benefits to people, I agree that there are some negative consequences of these kinds of
energy
. Dependence on renewable
sources
has led to some issues. The most important impact is the safety concerns.
For example
, some incidents
such
as the explosion of nuclear plants in Japan have caused poisonous and radioactive emissions, which not only killed people

energy
are criticized for other reasons.
For instance
, many local communities oppose the installation of wind farms which causes too much noise and affects the landscape. In

are eco-friendly.
Thus
, the consumption of renewable

contributes to improving the quality of air and mitigating other negative consequences including global warming and climate change.
Secondly
, fossil fuels are

and more expensive. Alternative
sources
such
as solar power and tidal power guarantee boundless supplies of
energy
. In conclusion, despite some negative consequences
such
as safety concerns and environmental pollution, countries over the world should
use
these types of
energy
.
