The best way to solve the world's environmental problem is to increase the price of fuels. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Environmental issues namely, global warming, increase in the earth's temperature, pollution and melting of ice are on the rise. A major section of society thinks that increasing the prices of fossil fuels is the best way to solve these issues.

However

this

instead

. There is no doubt that air pollution is on the rise

due to

the use of fossil fuels for transportation and industries. If the petrol and diesel price is increased, it will not lead to a reduction in their usage because the rich will still be able to afford to buy them at higher prices

On the contrary

Hence

, I believe that costly combustibles are not a viable option for the environment. Rather than increasing the cost of gasoline products, it is better to think about alternate and cleaner options to reduce their consumption

such

as solar energy, wind and electricity.

For example

, some countries are now giving subsidies to their citizens to purchase electric vehicles in order to encourage them to stop using the vehicles that consume these pollutants.

In addition
