The large number of private cars on the roads in many parts of the world has led to serious problems of pollution and may contribute to global warming. Some people think that governments should spend money for the development of public transportation systems in order to help solve this problem. Others think it is better to spend money for the development of electric and other types of cars that may cause less pollution. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The increase in vehicles has led to serious pollution and may contribute to global warming. One of the major contributors to
that is
an increased in transport vehicles running on the roads, emitting carbon monoxide gas has led to serious problems. To mitigate these problems, there are various solutions. In my view, the government must play an important role in
this
solution by developing public transportation and developing clean power. Regarding public transport, the brunt it can have on reducing global warming is through the reduction in the number of vehicles on roads. By reducing the number of transits on roads it will lead to less congestion, improve air quality, and can contribute to economic growth.
However
, if the mode of transport is buses,
then
this
may have less of an impact on reducing pollution. Advancing clean energy technology can
also
play a pivotal role in reducing air pollution and improving public health.
For example
, electric cars on a pathway to provide a significant improvement in reducing emissions.
However
, the progress of clean capacity can
also
have negative impacts.
For instance
, the production of clean energy infrastructure can have significant environmental impacts,
such
as land use changes and habitat destruction.
Further
to
this
, some clean energy sources,
such
as hydro power, can have a negative impact on the local ecosystem and wildlife. All things considered, there are both positive and negative impacts of the development of transportation and clean power on the environment. In my opinion, we all need to protect our habitats by reducing the negative impact as much as we can.
