With the increased global demand in oil and gas, undiscovered areas of the world should be opened up to access more resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the requests for

oil

and

gas

are significantly increasing, which means the untouched parts of the world should be explored to gain additional resources.

However

, I firmly disagree, as excessive exploitation can lead to harm, and

therefore

, humans should start to shift to renewable

energy

.

Oil

and

gas

are categorised as unrenewable sources of

energy

, which simultaneously need exploration and exploitation.

However

, in view of the fact that the whole process tends to create pollution and endanger the ecosystem, significant environmental drawbacks emerge. As a real-life example, the

oil

rigs, which are located in the middle of the sea, often spill

oil

into the sea, leading to a decrease in water quality and a ruined ecosystem of sea creatures.

As a consequence

,

instead

of searching for new locations for

oil

and

gas

, human beings should increase the use of alternative sources,

for instance

, sunlight, wind, and water. These types of

energy

are renewable

energy

, which means that they are always available and can be recycled. By using these resources, the original condition of nature can be maintained, and pollution can be lessened.

For example

, the use of sunlight only requires solar panels, and people do not need to cut down the forests to search for

gas

.

Thus

, the earth and animal's habitat can be protected. In conclusion,

although

the demand for

oil

and

gas

has increased, the concealed areas should remain that way because the exploration process can damage the nature of the earth, and people must consider the use of other sources of

energy

.

Hence

, I remain to disagree with the idea of opening new areas to search for unknown origins of

oil

and

gas

.
