Fossil fuels are essential for producing electricity, powering industry and fueling transportation. However, one day we will reach a point when all the world’s fossil fuels have been depleted. How can we conserve these resources? What are some alternatives to fossil fuels?
The world currently relies heavily on fossil
fuels
, but there will come a time when these run out. This
essay will discuss how we can help to conserve resources by limiting car
usage and it will name some alternatives that can be harnessed to generate power.
The primary thing to preserve the overuse of fossil fuels
is by lessening individuals' reliance on cars
. It could be started by switching to public transport for a long journey or walking for a short journey. These steps will encourage people to leave their cars
in the garage, thus
, reducing fuel burning. Another way to reduce our fuel consumption is by car
sharing. This
scheme will reduce the number of cars
on the road as more passengers contain within a single car
. For instance
, car
ownership in Tokyo is far lower than in Jakarta because they have great public transport that discourages individuals to use their cars
if the distance is near.
The most sustainable options other than fossil fuels
are the generation of natural power, such
as the sun, wind, wave, and tidal. These resources are heavily present in our surroundings and have big potential ready to be harnessed. Moreover
, the cost of building a natural plant is more or less the same as a fossil plant, making natural sources interesting to invest.
Change preposition
in.
For example
, the Netherlands, popular with its heavy cyclone season, builds many wind plants to electricize half of their regions with the cost of only half of building a coal plant.
In conclusion, fossil fuels
will not last
forever as our power source backbone because of its limitation. Hence
, using renewable sources such
as the sun, wind, and tidal is the feasible alternative source while we reduce our reliance by decreasing our car
usage.Submitted by hpanduhimawan on
