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 was too late, and nuclear power is the only
alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using
nuclear power because it is very dangerous. What would
happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radio
activity causes cancer and may badly affect the future
generations.
The most effective thing is that we should use
natural resources as economically as possible.
