There is an argument over whether alternative sources of energy will soon replace fossil fuels. Some people might believe that it is possible to change renewable sources of energy as world leaders are more and more interested in environment problems. My view, however, is that fossil fuels would cause problems more than ever. This is largely because there are no common criteria. Moreover, rapid change leads to the country’s economic recession.
To begin with, many leaders in all over the world have no norms collectively. The country that used fossil fuels is different from their situation. Some country consumed more fossil fuels, whereas other countries might be well-developed in alternative energy. However, in this regard, many rules, norms, and criteria would be made by a stronger state, or well-developed country, such as the United States. As a result, these rules were simply to temporary methods. Suppose your country is the one of the strongest nation. Also, the nation used a large percent of renewable sources. In this sense, you can make the rule have priority. As a result, these forced method were not effective solution. Therefore, had it not been for collective and cooperative method, the world would have not improved on environmental problems.
Furthermore, fast transition caused the nation to get severe problems. If some nations have a higher percentage of fossil fuels, the nation would put in more efforts when compared the other nation. And therefore, civilian of the country should unnecessary activities, such as taking transportation instead of taking personal cars. These situations gives the people unbalanced life. According to a study conducted by a group of researcher at Harvard University, if the policy that the nations should reduce fossil fuels implemented, more than two-third of the countries is harmful to economic recession. Also, this policy can be burden to people’s overwhelming load. As the study shows, changes lead to economic recession.
To summarize, the adverse effect of rapid change far outweighs the benefit of renewable sources of energy considering the facts that there is no collective rules and alternative resources gives the more detrimental problems. Of course, replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources is beneficial to environmental aspects, such as reducing of air pollution, but it caused unfair norms.
