Societies are often divided into two groups when it comes to the problem of energy using. Some people believe that renewaable energy will dominate the energy market in the near future, while other people insist that traditional resources of energy will never be replaced. As far as I am concerned, although renewable energy is facing with the barrier of relatively high cost, it is inevitable that these cleaner sources of energy will finally dominate.
Recently the world’s attention has been drawn on the fluctuation of oil gas prices. Petroleum, as the main source of energy for indutrialization progress, has tripled its price in the last thirty years. The concern about its present dorminance is obvious among scientists, because we can not sustain a high growth rate in economics if human beings rely on the limited storage of petroleum on the earth. As a soring amount of petro is consumed each day, the quantity of the rest part diminishes. It is predicted that the total energy that can be used for human progress can sustain another 60 years. As a result, human has to find another way out after that.
Under these ciucumstances, a substitution for traditional energy is needed and the solution is the so-called renewable energy. Renewable sources of energy, such as sunlight, wind and flowing water, can be converted into energy with little or even no hazard to the natural world. These sources are always conveniently availbale to human beings, while we have handled the technology to finish the convertion. The ample supply of these resources proofs to be an idel to maintain the growing demand of energy in the modern world, which makes it the main reason for scientists to hold the belief that renewable energy will finally be a dominance.
Appealing though the prospect of renewable energy is, there lies a critical barrier against its broad application. The cost to convert these sources such as sunlight and wind is relatively high, at the same time, special and expensive devices are also needed. Hwever, as the promotion of technical innovation, one should believe this is just a barrier that will be conquered soon. As a conclusion, I firmly believe that renewable resources of energy will be the dominance in the neatr future and all the human beings will benefit from the universal adoptance of it. |
