01 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 and try to find out alternative sources of power According to
Professor Marvin 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 is the only alternative
However, many people not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations
The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economical as possible Natural resources will never run out
2 We don’t know exactly how much fuel is left We shouldn’t waste fuel
4 According to Professor Marvin Burnham, solar energy will be used as a substitute for natural resources All people agree to use nuclear power as an alternative energy
