The increasing demand for oil and gas has made it necessary to look for these energy sources in remote and untouched natural places. Do you think the advantages of locating oil and gas in these areas outweigh the disadvantages of damaging these places?

Some people argue that as the population on the Earth is increasing, we need to explore new

oil

and

gas

resources

due to

losing current

sources

of natural energy. In my opinion, the disadvantages of

this

assertion outweigh the advantages. There are various reasons why the drawbacks of locating new natural

sources

of energy outweigh the benefits.

To begin

with, searching for untouched places to find fossil fuels like

oil

and

gas

will result in destroying the natural habitat of that area.

For example

, in southern Africa, the most famous rainforest has been demolished in the

last

decade to find new

sources

of

oil

.

This

has led to the extinction of wild animals and plants.

instead

of ruining natural habitats, we should protect them.

In addition

, if people use more

oil

and

gas

, more carbon dioxide will

Thus

, Co2 will trap heat from the sun and

this

makes the global temperature rise.

This

process is called the greenhouse effect.

Gas

emissions from vehicles and exhaust fumes from factories are the major factors of environmental pollution.

and the growing number of cars on the streets have a significant impact on global warming and contamination of the planet. In conclusion, many developing countries are becoming industrialized and the need for new

sources

of fossil fuels is increasing.

While

it may be argued that humans have the right to destroy untouched fields to access new

sources

of natural energy, I believe that the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.
