The exploration and development of safe alternatives to fossil fuels should be the most important global priority today. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the

last

century, society has been extremely dependent on the

use

of fossil fuel-based

energy

,

whereas

it is lately known as the top cause of environmental issues.

Thus

, most people think that the development of

alternative

energy

sources should be prioritized. I completely agree with

this

statement and the reasons will be explained in

this

essay.

To begin

with, the excessive

use

of fossil fuels has been damaging the environment. It is because

this

energy

source is emitting carbon dioxide which leads to greenhouse gases. Even worse, it is not only negatively affecting the air quality, but

also

the climate. As an illustration, the average temperature in Indonesia has been above 32 degrees Celsius in the afternoon and the rise of sea level is at an alarming rate.

Furthermore

, without

alternative

energy

, some coastal areas will be covered by seawater only in some years ahead. Not only damaging the environment, fossil fuels existence is nearly into its extinction.

This

is because the generation of

this

kind of fuel comes from animals' fossils.

Consequently

, it took years to produce the

energy

while

the rise of population and human dependence on

energy

forced humans to

use

it excessively.

Hence

, it is essential for the government and global cooperation to limit the

use

of fossil fuel-based

energy

and explore safer

alternative

sources of

energy

which are not harming the earth and are sustainable. In summary, I agree that investing in the research of safer

alternative

energy

sources is critical for some reasons. It is because fossil fuels are affecting some negative impacts on the environment

such

as poor air quality and climate change

while

the need for

energy

is inevitable for human life.
