It is an ursent problem with shortage of oil energy for the next generation. As a solution to the deficiency, some goverment makes a policy to increase oil price since it will prevent excessive oil wasting. I believe that there are other important reasons why goverment raised the price such as promoting use of alternative energy and encourage people's attitude toward environment.
Above of all, goverment should increase the oil price to discourage people to use overuse of oil energy. Apparently, in the near future our next generation cannot use oil energy due to our excessive wasting in oil resorce in the past. Acoring to one research, for 5years as the price of gasoline has increased, the use of public transportation and bicycles has increased more and more. Thanks to the high price to maintain running a car, people try to use metro, bus, other vehicles that don't cost much. In this endeavior, the speed of decreasing fuel energy has slowen down.
Moreover, raising the price of gasoline, goverment focuses on investing alternative energy such as wind, tide, fire and electiricity. Since it takes a lot of money to research and invest in alternatives of oil, increasing oil price will help to support these activities. As well, it is compatible with the theory that its user should pay more moeny for extra expense to explore other ways. In addition, people will turn to use other energy more though it has less power to run supplies. As an evidence, we can find electriciticy product in the market such as an electricity car, an electricity boiler and electricity stove. Increasing price of fuel energy let consumers turn to other alternative energy.
Finally, with the high price of oil, people will be more aware of warning from our environment. Before we felt inmoderate inflanaiton caused by increase in oil price, we didn't realize pressing problem with fuel resourse. When I was in elementary school, our home has oil boiler, and we ran the bolier overnight without any worry of its cost. As time went by, the expense of warming our home became a severe burden. Since we exposed to serious problems with shortage of fuel energe, we started to think how to reserve energe efficiently.
To sum, somegoverment starts to raise the cost of oil to prevent excessive use of fuel enegy. In this sense, I believe they have more reasons to establish that policy to warn environmental problems and to foster investment and use of alternative energy. |
