Fossil fuel is the main source of energy. In some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy is encouraged. To what extent do you think is it a positive or negative development?

In several parts of the world, fossil fuel plays a primary role in producing energy. However, governmental leaders also promote the utilization of non-traditional sources of power. I believe that this policy could generate more advantages to society and surroundings than shortcomings.

Despite the disadvantages below, I think there are various benefits of putting renewable power sources into practice. Firstly, with the non-conventional energy sources gaining more popularity, fossil fuel, and natural resources, which are being overexploited at an alarming rate, can be saved with a view to being preserved for later generations. Secondly, non-traditional sources of power like nuclear, solar or wind power are considered to be environment-friendly. Consequently, the environment can be protected. Corporations generating renewable power can also make contributions to supply more job opportunities for the community and satisfying the increasing requirements for energy for daily social life and industrial production.

Admittedly, countries can be confronted with several problems when making use of these kinds of energy. In various cases, if nuclear power plants leak radioactive substances, the community health will be endangered and the living environment may be poisoned. Additionally, national authorities are obliged to allocate a huge amount of state budget for constructing nuclear power factories, installing windmills or purchasing solar panels, followed by a shortage of national funds for other key sectors like educational systems or health services.

In conclusion, although there are some issues concerning the use of renewable sources of energy, I believe in the long run it will certainly bring more benefits for people and the environment.
