Raising household electricity fees is the most effective solution to the problems associated with power generation and environmental pollution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective in reducing the environmental pollution caused by power generation?

Nowadays, environmental

issues

resulting from the production of

power

are the principal concern of people all over the world. Some people believe that increasing the cost of household electricity is the best way to address

this

problem

.

However

, I firmly believe that

this

solution would not be helpful and that

this

problem

can only truly be addressed by using clean

energy

sources

. In terms of reasons why I disagree with the measure mentioned, the first

as well as

the most apparent one may be that day-to-day residential

energy

consumption just accounts for a small part of the total

energy

use. All the

while

, industrial factories have a huge demand for burning fossil fuels to run their businesses, so these plants are the main

energy

consumers and have to be mainly responsible for

this

problem

.

For example

, in the United States, industrial and commercial activities take up more than half of total

energy

consumption,

while

the figure for domestic purposes is significantly lower, making up just 30%.

As a result

, burdening households with higher electricity bills just makes the dwellers frustrated and can not solve

power

issues

thoroughly. Regarding other effective measures to the environmental problems, the first as well the most significant one may be the utilisation of renewable

energy

sources

instead

of non-renewable

sources

. These days, solar or wind systems are not only deemed environmentally friendly but

also

can produce the same amount of

energy

as other

energy

sources

. In that way, we could reduce our reliance on fossil-fuel-burning

power

plants, which contribute greatly to addressing alarming environmental

issues

. Apart from that, shifting to the use of electric, and hydrogen vehicles or promoting shared mobility might be another feasible solution to address

this

serious

problem

.

For example

, in Denmark, people choose to utilize carpooling, public transportation, and bicycles on a more frequent basis,

instead

of using their own private vehicles.

Consequently

, the air quality in

this

country could be improved significantly. In conclusion, I strongly believe that increasing the price of residential electricity bills may not be the most suitable alternative to solve

power

issues

.

While

this

problem

can be solved by using clean

energy

sources

as well as

boosting the utilisation of eco-friendly transportation
