All cars that burn fossil fuels should be banned and electric cars should replace them. Do you agree or disagree?

During the twentieth century, people around the world began using

vehicles

powered by fossil fuels, and in

this

new millennium that trend has continued, with a vast uptick in the number of privately owned

cars

.

However

, it has become apparent that

this

phenomenon is causing major environmental damage and needs to be stopped.

This

essay will argue that humans ought to switch to electric

cars

. The damage done by

is obvious. One only needs to look at a big city like Beijing or Los Angeles to see the vast smog clouds lingering over highways to recognize that these

vehicles

are emitting unpleasant chemicals from their exhausts. Scientific studies over the past few decades have confirmed that these chemicals cause significant damage to our health and our environment, as they turn into acid rain or are inhaled into our lungs, where they cause certain types of cancer.

This

is

in addition

to the fact that fossil fuels are a finite resource, and that their extraction from the earth is often incredibly destructive.

On the other hand

,

electricity

can be generated in any number of ways, many of which are relatively harmless. It is possible to generate

electricity

from the wind or sun, thereby gathering energy without damaging the earth or causing harm to human beings. As an infinite source of energy that can be gathered and used without harm, it is obvious that

electricity

is the power that should drive

cars

in the future. In conclusion, traditionally powered

vehicles

are destroying our world and need to be phased out in favour of electric

vehicles

.

Electricity

can be generated harmlessly and endlessly and is

therefore

superior to fossil fuel.
