The discussion of the issue that whether international leadership and worldwide cooperation are essential to protect the world’s energy resources for future generations has come into vogue recently. People’s opinions are divergent on such a complex and controversial issue. The author declares that because it is unrealistic to expect individual nations to sacrifice benefits for energy conservation, cooperation among the whole world is necessary. However, it oversimplifies this issue. The final judgment, in my point of view, should depend on a case-by-case analysis.



First and foremost, at the risk of sounding too simplistic, my main proposition can be summarized in one saying that to conserve the energy, as a worldwide topic, is not only business of individual nations. What is more, I approve that no individual country can complete the project independently without reservations in respect that each member as a country on earth owns limited resources and power to master and control the natural environments and living conditions. Besides, each country has its own selfishness in developing its economy by indispensably consuming irreproducible resources. As a consequence, it seems so hard for individual nation to employ the project for energy conservation without others’ supervision. Let’s bring our discussion here to a more present and practical context, it can be given a concrete example: OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, as an international organization in management of oil output situation, consists of eleven countries whose economy depend heavily on the oil revenue. The success of OPEC in balancing the oil price and production during decades proves that organization like OPEC established to tackle international issues can lead to a win-win result.



From my personal angle alone, another essential factor why I advocate the international leadership and cooperation involves that this pattern to employ the project can be equal for each. No one can deny that the limit to the consumption of energy would do harm to varieties of industries such as oil and natural gas. Moving on to wider themes, this seems contributive control might has negative influences on originally fragile industries in a country and then makes companies active in these area have to quit and submit potential and promising markets to their rivals from other countries in which ordinances concerning limit of energy consumption would never be issued. Hence, to conserve the energy resources simultaneously among nations or to establish a special organization with its own regulations and leadership would be helpful to balance interests and to show equity.



However, we should concede that despite the merits of international leadership and worldwide cooperation mentioned above, overextended limit and keep all members evolved in the project obey the same regulations will be indeed harmful and inadequate. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the developing countries, it would gear down the economic development fundamentally; for the developed countries, it may promote the tendency to increase unemployment.



To successfully curb such unfavorable blights, it is imperative for us to take several efficacious steps into consideration. In the first place, nations interested in the program should appeal to the authority to work out relevant regulations that take developing level of a country into account. In the second place, awareness of people’s employment should be enhanced and measures to offset negative effects derived from unemployment should be ready. In the third place, governments and banks should pour more investment into environmental friendly industry that could benefit both the program and the social economy.



From the analysis made above, I strongly commit to the notion that cooperation among nations would contribute to the energy conservation program, not only because of its high efficiency, but also because of its equality, but it depends on whether adequate regulations have been made in consideration of profits of different attendants.
