A lot of money is spent nowadays searching for oil. As the world's oil resources will eventually run out, it would be more logical to spend some of this money on developing new sources of power, such as wind and solar. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Because
oil
is such
a precious fuel a great deal of money
is spent looking for it. Some people believe that this
is counterproductive as oil
is finite so therefore
we should spend some of this
money
advancing new power sources. I agree with this
point and think that we should stop focussing
on Correct your spelling
focusing
oil
supplies
as it is both unsustainable an
harmful to the environment.

and
Oil
is not only very expensive but it is also
one
of the most commonly sold commodities on the planet. For
this
reason
many people invest great sums of Add a comma

money
in locating and extracting it. Furthermore
, countries that have been able to find oil
supplies
have seen a huge rise in their GDP and a corresponding rise in their population’s living standards.
However
, oil
is not a renewable energy sources

source
one
day the earth’s supplies
will be depleted. For
this
reason
it is not logical for us to continue being dependent on Add a comma

oil
and should instead
devote time and money
on
the development of sustainable alternatives. These alternatives already exist in the form of wind, hydro and solar power but need to be invested in to meet the global demand for energy.
Another issue with our reliance on Change preposition
to
oil
is the effect that it has on the environment. The burning of fossil fuels like oil
is one
of the key causes of climate change. For
this
reason
many people argue that, rather than looking for new ways of extracting Add a comma
,reason
oil
, its use should be greatly limited. They argue that, if we do not address the problem now, many parts of the world will be uninhabitable in the future.
In conclusion, despite the financial benefit for those that find supplies
of oil
, I would argue that we need to end our reliance on it. The environmental problems that it causes are too great to be ignored and, given that it will one
day be depleted anyway, we need to start using alternatives now.Submitted by mariamelanaki on
