4.11 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Renewable sources of energy (sun, wind, water) will soon replace fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal).
Nowadays, there is a heated discussion with sharply soaring volume about whether renewable sources of energy (sun, wind, water) will soon replace fossil fuels. Some individuals agree with the statement hold the view that renewable sources of energy have considerable merit over fossil fuels that will soon replace it, when it comes to sustainable development and running a long way due to our survival as a species. However, from my perspective, I must take exceptions when it comes to three aspects including cost, feasibility, and social interest.
To begin with, in contemporary society, based on certain efficiency, practicality has been the overriding concern in most areas of human endeavors. As we all know that renewable sources of energy is a great cost in contrast with fossil energy, like wind and sun that using them will obviously waste host of the social recourse that should be in the right way to solve the pressing social problems.
Moreover, considering extremely low rate of work, today’s renewable resources provide with a main form of human energy—electricity, which strikes me as highly impractical and helpless. Accordingly, it is no complete feasibility for human pragmatism development in short term survival. At the same time, fossil energy has an absolutely benefit that meet people practical needs in most reams of human.
Last but not least, I have to demonstrate the social interest that all powers and talent must serve. It is a indisputable fact that renewable resources of energy has certain disadvantages when speaking of development of the booming society at highly expense. So in short run, social interests will assign the high priorities to the fossil energy while at the same time , using remnant resources to do research in renewable energy to make it the same as fossil energy in expense, efficiency and feasibility.
In a nutshell, based on what I have mentioned, hardly can I agree with the statement that renewable sources of energy (sun, wind, water) will soon replace fossil fuels. |
