Demand for gas and oil is increasing and so finding new sources in remote and untouched areas is a necessity. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

#demand #gas #oil #sources #areas #necessity #outweigh
In the past few decades, the need of finding new
sources
 in inaccessible
areas
 for
gas
 power has increased to maintain a higher standard of living.
This
 essay will examine the advantages and disadvantages of finding and extracting new
sources
 of
gas
 in remote
areas
. I believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. At the outset, exploring a new origin for gasoline in untouched
areas
 has some benefits.
Firstly
, if
countries
 have a lot of
sources
 of
gas
, they will earn more revenue to boost their economy.
Moreover
, they will ameliorate the standard of living due to the self-sufficiency of
gas
.
Secondly
, the increasing exploitation of oil in distant regions can stabilize international fuel prices and reduce the intense demand for fossil fuels, because of fuel supply rising.
However
, interfering in
such
areas
 will increase tension between
countries
 and it has a lot of hazards to the environment and humans. In sharp contrast to
this
, I believe that

 there are prominent demerits of drilling in untouched
areas
 that we can not ignore.
Firstly
, it is always known from previous experiences that, wherever people find fuel, the different
countries
 start a war to gain control. So, if
countries
 decide to research remote places, there are high chances that eventually they might end up in war.
Secondly
, most of the workers are exposed to hazards from the site, either from the tools they use or environmental factors.
Moreover
, there is always a high risk of spillage, which may result in a catastrophic impact on nature and wildlife. In conclusion,
although
 there are some pros to finding new
sources
 to provide
countries
 with oil and
gas
, the demerits can not be ignored. I believe that the demerits outweigh the merits and I think we should search for new sustainable energy.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
