With the increased global demand for oil and gas, the undiscovered areas of the world should be opened up to the access of more resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently, while there is an international consensus to explore untouched

areas

to meet the world's surging need for

fuel

, opponents and I disagree and argue that these

areas

should be left untapped because of the environmental hazards and the availability of renewable resources. In the following essay, my contention will be

further

scrutinized.

To begin

with, operations pertinent to the quest for new spots of

fuel

pose an existential threat to the ecosystem.

This

is because when lands are dug by

companies

to extract

fuel

, the surrounding ecosystems will be inevitably damaged as they are often in sensitive

areas

. An eminent example of

this

is the Deep-water Horizon disaster which happened when an oil spill fell in the ocean;

consequently

, all marine life in close vicinity died.

Thus

, what can be said is that governments should issue laws to restrict or even ban

companies

from invading natural habitats to extract oils.

Furthermore

, authorities can offer a pragmatic approach to mitigating the issue of

fuel

overconsumption by funding the use of alternative energy resources. To illustrate

this

, if governments subsidize private industrial

companies

, they will be encouraged to utilize renewable resources rather than their reliance on oils.

For example

, Tesla Elon Musk, the CEO of

solar city, demonstrated a viable solution to

this

problem by drawing a small square on the USA map while affirming that

this

limited area can generate electricity that satisfies the energy needs of the whole country if it is covered with solar powers.

Hence

, not only do wind, solar and tidal sources of energy offer a reasonable approach to ameliorating

this

problem, but they

also

offer an affordable solution. In conclusion, after

this

essay has manifested the above-mentioned points, it can be reiterated that even though a plethora of nations advocate that

companies

should search for untouched

areas

to fulfil the rising need for oils, I am a staunch believer that

this

notion has a deleterious impact on the environment;

additionally

, other renewable sources are omnipresent and continuously generated.

Therefore

, since governments have the upper hand, they can legislate laws that tackle

this

issue.
