Opinions might be divided whether the only way for the government to encourage energy conservation is to increase the price of gasoline and electricity. Personally, I strongly agree with the above statement for the following reasons. First, only mounting the price of fuel will discourage people's consumption more effectively. Second, we do not have enough alternative resources.
First of all, increasing the price fuel is the best effective way to discourage people's consumption of energy use. These days, our energy resources are depleting quickly. The problem with this is that the resources may pose a serious risk to our survival in the future. In this context, the government have to take the measure of increasing the cost of fuel. For example, a decade ago, the government gave people just weak advises. However, people do not stop using their energy, such as consuming fans in the summer, and thus the consumption of using energy resources did not decrease, but did increase. On the other hand, these days, the government made a strict policy of energy use. According to this policy, people are charged double of their energy consumption during peak times. Surprisingly, energy consumption was drastically decreasing since people did not bear the financial burden.
Moreover, alternative energies have not totally impact on our society. Some may argue that the advancement of alternative energy can reduce energy consumption to some degree. However, alternative energy is neither fully enough nor fully developed. As a result, in order to decrease energy consumption, government should impose higher prices on users. According to a study, recently released by the Korean National Research Center, more than two-thirds of specialist mentioned that alternative energy can not play crucial role in reducing the increasing energy consumption for the time being. Based on this study, since there are not enough alternatives to replace fossil fuels, the government has no choice but to impose higher energy use prices.
In conclusion, the government should a strict policy about imposing the price of gasoline and electricity, since increasing the cost of fuel is the only effective way and there are not enough alternative resources. | |
