Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Ma Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power the only alternative.
