Many countries use fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) as the main source of energy. However, in some countries the use of the alternative sources of energy (wind energy and solar energy) is encouraged. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

should follow their example.

Nevertheless

To begin

use

brings great benefits to our planet,

, and,

, people. First of all, it is a well-known fact that our planet currently faces the problem of global warming, and one of its main causes is the

use

of gasoline in huge amounts. Obviously, biofuels solve

this

issue by decreasing the rate of damage to the environment and improving our natural conditions. Another reason why governments and societies should make more efforts to develop and utilise environmentally friendly

sources

of

energy

is the depletion of natural resources. The extraction of petrol from the earth increases every year

due to

the rise in global demand, and very soon it will no longer be available.

However

, it is hard to disagree that changing the main source of fuel on a national scale may have an excessively heavy impact on the state and people's budgets.

Firstly

do not have sufficient funds for

cost more than traditional ones.
