Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

There is no doubt that

cars

are

one

of the most frequent

transportation

means, and nowadays, many

use

these vehicles to commute on a daily basis.

However

, there are some experts who forecast that in the near future they will be replaced, I am among those who believe that the

number

of

cars

in

use

will decrease, and in the following, I will elaborate on the reasons.

First

, according to statistics, in the upcoming twenty years, our natural resources like oil and

gas

will decrease sharply, and the scarcity of these materials will increase the price of

such

chemicals dramatically. Donald et al. revealed in a recently published paper that the price of

one

of

gas

in Los Angeles, California, will be more than 200 dollars in less than 10 years. It is evident that most people cannot afford

such

high prices and have to

use

public

transportation

instead

. With the decreasing

number

of people who can fuel their

cars

, market demand for buying

cars

will drop sharply,

many car manufacturers will be broken and their production lines will be closed. To make a long story short, it seems sweeping changes related to the fuel

cars

consume are required to predict anything other than a decreasing

number

of

cars

in

use

.

Second

, many may argue that technological revolutions may change the game and that green fuels will change the paradigm. There is

one

main candidate: hydrogen fuels. Researchers are working hard on Li-ion batteries and solid oxide fuel cells to replace current engines, which

use

hydrogen and produce water as a byproduct of combusting H2

gas

. It is proven that these two novel engines are not qualified substitutes, as having vehicles

use

such

sources of energy may require a revolution in many infrastructures,

such

as

gas

stations

. Charging the new batteries necessitates the complete replacement of

gas

stations

with some completely new energy

stations

. When we consider the

number

of

stations

and the costly process of constructing the required structures, it appears that it does not make sense.

Therefore

, there are significant barriers in the way of developing

such

modern

cars

, and many countries, including developing countries, will not be able to promote the

use

of these state-of-the-art automobiles. All in all, I agree with the idea that car

use

will not be as widespread as it is today. The high prices of non-renewable resources, on the

one

hand, and the financial difficulties that many counties may face while building necessary infrastructure,

on the other hand

, will definitely block any

further

use

. I can see vividly the day when public

transportation

will be the dominant mode of

transportation

and private ownership of

cars

will be useless.
