We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we’ll never succeed. Instead of
burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economical uses of electricity, because
electricity can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn’t waste so much energy, our
resources would last longer. We can save more energy by conservation than we can produce for the
same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants
… our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or starve to death. Several countries are spending
much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun, the waves, and the winds
last forever. We won’t really survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.
