People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.

Many people believe that the

cost

of

fuel

for means of transport increased by the

government

can minimize environmental dilemmas.

This

essay will argue that the disadvantages of

this

development will outweigh the advantages.

To begin

with, one of the greatest benefits is the decrease in demand for vehicles that used gas. Not every family who owns a private vehicle will be willing to spend more money on transportation and

as a result

, they have to find an alternative, for ,instance public transport.

Furthermore

, companies will

also

have to cut down their usage of

fuel

if they want to keep their revenue unchanged. In both ,cases the rise in

fuel

cost

would result in fewer emissions and

therefore

result in reduced environmental issues

such

as the greenhouse effect and damage to the ozone layer.

However

, there are a few problems with

this

viewpoint.

Firstly

, increasing the price of

fuel

can have a negative effect on the national economy. transportation is one of the basic foundations of almost every economic field. Products and materials need to be delivered many times before they are ready to be sold to customers. The higher expenditure of production will lead to lower demand from customers and

therefore

the loss of the company’s revenue.

Secondly

, in many countries,

for example

in Germany, a part of an employee’s

fuel

cost

will be paid by the company as a

government

policy. In the end, the higher

cost

will not directly affect many people but rather the expense of the

government

. In conclusion, increasing the price of

fuel

will not actually be the solution to many environmental problems when we look at it in the whole picture. To help reduce the emission from private means of transport, the

government

could

instead

encourage people to use environmentally friendly vehicles like electric cars, in which the user could benefit from lower taxes or road fees,...
