These days, every sensible citizen asks: is
alternative energy a good replacement of fossil fuels? Can it come up with our
expectations in the same way as oil, coal and other fossil fuels do? I strongly
believe that alternative energy can make us forget fossil fuels and it is as powerful and effective as oil, coal, and gas.
The premises which support my opinion are
given below:
o The world has been constantly moving toward a
more protective, pollution-free and well-versed environment and fossil fuels
contribute to environmental pollution.
o Fossil fuel reserves will end by 2051,
meaning they are limited and may not be available from a maximum of December
2051 onward.
o Alternative energy will prove to be more inexpensive
than fossil fuels, meaning the poor may be able to access it in the future.
In favor of these three premises, three
believing arguments are mentioned below:
o The main issues are sudden climate change,
greenhouse effect, and ozone layer depletion. We should notice that carbon
dioxide, chlorofluorocarbon, and other harmful gases are being added to the air
every day, and this not only cause problems with
the air but also for the water. In recent years, water in seas and oceans has
reached an alarmingly low level, and all this is because of the increased
temperature outside. Moreover, icebergs have started melting at a fast speed.
This is the time when we find out alternatives to fossil fuels and utilize them
in a better way. I think that alternative energy is environment-friendly so it
can perfectly replace fossil fuels in our lives. Forgetting fossil fuels and
depending on alternative energy will save our air and water from
contaminations.
o It should be noticed that the reserves of
coal, hydrocarbons and other fossil fuels have already ended in some parts of
the world. Even in the developed countries like America, Canada, the UAE,
England and China, they will not last beyond 2050. Experts have already
mentioned that the wise use of fossil fuels may save them for a few more
months, meaning they will not last longer than November 2051. This is the time
when we should increase our dependence on alternative energy and gradually
forget about fossil fuels before it is too late and we run out of time, losing
both fossil fuels and alternative energy resources.
o Most of the energy reserves are present in Islamic
states like Saudi Arabia and Muslims, according to their ethical and moral
values, respect the poor the same way they respect the rich. It clarifies that
they will keep distributing fossil fuels among all developed and
under-developed states without any discrimination, and this can quickly lower the
level of fossil fuels beneath the Earth. On the other hand, alternative energy
can cost governments a few hundred dollars while fossil fuels already cost
millions of dollars per year. The poor will be able to pay for alternative
resources and be happy with their lives. If they have an access to energy
resources, they may never get involved in crimes or opt for shortcut ways to
earn a lot of money.
I feel that
we should stop depending more on fossil fuels and other natural sources of
energy. Alternative energy can make our lives easier and more comfortable, but
it should also be used wisely.
