How important is it to explore alternative forms of energy?

Energy is something vital that drives everything- people, animals, plants, gadgets, industries, offices, and all the institutions or the activities one can imagine. It is the energybe it a mechanical, chemical, tidal, wind or hydropower-that has created the world with different artificial stuffs and; compelled people to live in fantasies and search for newer ways to fulfill their dreams. This has been the same for quite a long period of time that people are eager to live better lives. A better life in a layman understanding is to have good food, good clothes, good house to live in, a vehicle to transport to one's work, a homely environment and various gadgets and so on so forth. As life gets better so does the energy consumption. And a haunt for alternative source of energy becomes essential. Large amount of energy source especially petroleum products are spent on vehicles and industries to offer goods and gadgets for the world population. As the world population is increasing day by day, the demand for energy is also increasing. However, the petroleum products on earth are limited and one day all of them will be used up. Then what? So, alternative source of energy is necessary to replace and preserve petroleum products that are getting scarce. Some of the sources of energy do no good to the environment. For instance, petroleum products like coal burnt in the industries release CO, CO2, SO2 and so on. These gases are harmful as they cause global warming, acid rain, breathing problem and so on. For this, energy renewable sources like biomass are taken as a good alternative source of fuel. Also some other efficient alternative source of energy can be explored so that the industry flourishes without much impact on the environment, where people and other organisms dwell upon. In one way, exploring eco-friendly-alternative-source of energy has good cause related to environment. Some of the alternative sources of energy known to the world are solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy, bio fuel, ethanol and Hydrogen. Some may argue that the world has sufficient source of energy like nuclear energy which can produce enormous electricity, bio fuel and ethanol which can be used in powering vehicles and thus world needs no more sources of energy. However, this group of people should be aware about the fact that Japan was recently in trouble when some of its nuclear reactor burst and as a result the radiation was found in their people. Due to the heavy losses and radiation which caused possible harm to Japanese health, Japan has announced that it would stop all its nuclear activities. Hence one must take into the consideration that no source of energy is perfectly okay and that the situation may not be favorable all the time. For example, in early 19th century, whale oil was dominantly used as lubricants and fuel for the lamps until the whale stock depleted by the mid of 19th century. Then the petroleum was taken as alternative. There could be some of the disadvantages and so it is wise enough to have other forms of energy in stock so that they can be used when needs be. For this again, the world needs exploration of alternative source of energy. All in all, alternative sources of energy need to be explored. In fact exploration of the alternative source of energy is thousand times more important than using non renewable

Comment [T1]: Good beginning

Comment [T2]: Do you mean we consumer more energy or energy consumption gets better? Energy consumption is increasing, fortunately we are becoming more efficient in production

Comment [T3]: Good ending of the paragraph

Comment [T4]: Bio mass are also harmful to the environment

Comment [T5]: Good example

source of energy or any kind of inefficient forms of energy. After all the energy demand of the world is increasing day by day and its the duty of scientists to explore the effective source of energy and begin the new era of technology without affecting much of the environment and health. Feedbacks Content: 48 Good flow of the argument Some valid points however the question how important it is for us to explore alternative source of energy is not fully answered Often have gone out of topic Language: 32 Good language Few grammatical error Should work on reducing the length of the sentences
