Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnharm of the New England Institude of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident?

Question 2: 1. Write a paragraph about the disadvantages of non-renewable sources of energy.
Bài văn tham khảo:
Non-renewable sources of energy, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear energy, have several significant disadvantages. Firstly, they are finite resources, meaning that they will eventually run out. As we continue to extract and consume these resources at a rapid pace, their depletion becomes a pressing concern. Additionally, the extraction and burning of fossil fuels release harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution, climate change, and environmental degradation. Moreover, reliance on non-renewable energy sources poses geopolitical risks, as countries compete for access to limited reserves, leading to conflicts and tensions. Furthermore, the extraction and transportation of these energy sources can result in environmental disasters, such as oil spills and nuclear accidents, with devastating consequences for ecosystems and human health. Overall, the disadvantages of non-renewable sources of energy underscore the urgent need for transition to cleaner, sustainable alternatives.
