Due to the disparaging development of the world and people’s unawareness of environmental problem in the past, Mother Nature had been seriously damaged by pollutant. As damage of the environment can cause negative impact on people’s life, people are seeking a way to cope with this crisis we face. Many people think that renewable sources will soon replace the fossil fuel as their technology has developed and people’s awareness of environmental problem has grown. Despite these facts, I believe it will be hard for all the fossil fuels to be replaced by renewable sources; huge financial burden, and disadvantage of renewable source
To begin with, in current society where we use fossil fuel as the major energy source, some countries which provides the oil earns huge amount of money. However, if fossil fuels are replaced by the alternative sources, the financial losses which are given to those countries will be critical. Also, the as current society’s facility including the transportation and other accommodation systems are designed to use fossil fuels, the whole world will have to change the property that they own now. This will bring up a serious problem to people of all the class. For instance, my family owns two car which uses gasoline, and our apartment’s warming system runs by the heat that comes from the thermal power plant. If all the fossil fuels are replaced by renewable source at once, our family will lose both transportation means and our house. Regarding this, total replacement of the fossil fuels will cause an economic burden both on family and a country.
Moreover, renewable source is literally, a renewable source. Not an environmentally friendly source. Many people have wrong information on this new energy sources. Solar energy, wind power, wave power and etc, seems to have no negative influence on ecosystem but they are not. The only difference that renewable energy and fossil fuel is that former one has unlimited sources while the other one has limited sources. Alternative sources cause serious problem on Earth’s ecosystem. As an example, in order to collect energy from the sun, people needs to install the solar panel. Simply using this people can get energy. However, it needs tremendous amount of panel. The installation of this panel takes a lot of place. While people can build facility that is useful or helpful to people, due to the panels they can’t. Considering current situation of world which are lacking spaces this is pollution. Moreover, people use dam to prevent flooding and make electricity by it. Dams have promoted the erosion of mountains and took away the habitat of some wild animals. Regarding these facts, people are definitely misunderstanding what the renewable sources are and their influence on human society.
In a nut shell, it is nearly impossible for renewable sources to completely replace the fossil fuels. Otherwise, the whole society will end up suffering from economical burden and intensified pollution. |
