▶ Your Answer :
It is evident in our current society that energy has tremendous importance in our lives. It is often said that fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas are infinite energy sources. However, I think that renewable energy such as wind and solar energy will shortly replace traditional fuels. There are several reasons why I agree with this topic statement, so I will limit my discussion to the two that I feel are the most relevant to the topic. First of all, to live in clear earth, it is necessary for people to use renewable and environment-friendly energy, in addition, the quantity of traditional fuels that people can consume is limited and soon exhausts.
To begin with, it is undeniable fact that fossil fuels are main cause of global warming. This is because CO2, N2O that affect to global warming and air pollution are released by burning of fossil fuels. Thus, to live in the earth with pleasant environment, people should stop using traditional fuels and use instead eco-friendly energy like solar and wind power. In current world-society, People have been depending on fossil fuels as a source of energy. According to the ministry of environment of Korea 2007, as Korea society became industrialized and population grew, people burned more and more fossil fuels. Since Korean have been using fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, and natural gas, the percentage of greenhouse gas causing global warming in the air has been increasing. To be specific, in 1970, the percentage of greenhouse gas in air is only one-third of current quantity. It means that using massive quantities of fossil fuels emit greenhouse gas and other pollutants into the air and thus using renewable sources of energy are more beneficial for our clear earth.
In addition, It is obvious that the quantities of traditional fuels are limited and will end up exhausting. Thus, we need to come up with something against when fossil fuels run out in the future and using renewable energy is the best way to prepare that moment. This reminds of the time when I saw the some article about energy sources in the newspaper in 2 years ago. According to the article, the world is gradually running short of oil and oil deposit from deep ground is not remaining not much. And after 50 years, there are no petroleum deposit will be running out by people’s greed. This indicates that we should find instead sources of energy such as wind and wave power that we use permanently.
All things considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I think I have sufficiently and adequately explained my position regarding the topic. In a nutshell, due to the fact that traditional fuels release lots of pollutants that cause global warming and these fuels are in danger of running out. Environment-friendly energy will soon replace fossil fuels.
