The exploration and development of safe alternatives to fossil fuels should be the most important global priority today. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample 1:

Technological improvements affect our lives in tremendous ways. Each designed car model increases safety standard and reduce fuel requirement per mile. But unfortunately, each created device affects nature atrociously because of fossil fuel usage. This essay is about possible opportunities of alternative energy and why it needs to be taken care of.

First of all, the main reason why the alternative energy is needed to be prioritised is global warming. It has become a serious concern in the world and the underlying reason for this happening is carbon dioxide emission. Reduction of this perilous emission of carbon dioxide could put us one step ahead and the easiest way to reach this goal is the use of alternative energy in our daily life for different reasons such as driving cars, flying planes and to run heaters.

Secondly, fossil fuel plants collect limited source which will be depleted eventually. Due to this fact, it is the most expensive energy source for today and will be in the future until its extinction. Also, anyone who wants to collect fuel should build expensive plants and as a result of this sector is controlled by big companies that are known as main subsidises and profiteers of wars. Furthermore, economic effects of fuel make world peace nearly impossible. Many wars erupt because of this material most people concern that "World War III" will strike because of it.

On the other hand, safe alternative energy receives its power from nature. Such as, hydropower plants, solar power farms and wind power tribunes. Because of these, possibilities of this limitless power are way too higher than fossil fuel. Also, anyone who wants to collect one of these powers only needs to build the corresponding facility on his area and if produced power is higher than his requirement, he could even sell it to the government regarding the newly approved bill.

In conclusion, usage of this limitless power will definitely take a great part of our future and because of its possibilities, governments should pay more attention.

It is undeniable that the humankind is proliferating uncontrollably, by depleting natural resources and damaging our sole home, like bacteria do in the petri dish. Fossil fuels are, without any doubt, one of our biggest problems since they are the main reason for the air pollution and the hole in ozone layer. It has been suggested that safe alternatives should be explored and developed and totally agree with this view.

With the advances in technology and globalisation, the need for mobility and fossil fuels in increased. Cars, buses, planes, ships; every link that connects us with the rest of the world consumes fossil fuels. As a result of this, air pollution has reached to unprecedented levels and lung cancer cases have risen so much that one day they will surpass flu cases. And even worse, we are polluting the world's air and water resources and soon it is predicted the wars will be made for water. We have even made a hole in the ozone layer, and we are now less defenceless to ultraviolet rays of the sun and possible asteroid crashes. We are bringing our ends with our own hands.
These problems, however, can be overcome by opting alternative sources. We can attain the same amount of energy by using natural sources solely. We can use solar panels, for instance, for brought heating and vehicles that work with electricity. There is no waste, no pollutant; there is only pure energy. Another alternative would be that to recycle our wastes to produce energy. For example, Switzerland is one successful pioneer that produces nearly forty percent of its energy need from home wastes by processing them in sophisticated recycling centres. In another category, some experiments have shown that waste olive oils can be used in cars efficiently. With further exploration, new safe alternative energy models can be developed for every aspect of life.

My personal view is that governments should subsidise for alternative energy sources before it is too late for the world, rather that finding new homes in the space.

Sample 3:

From the last few decades, people have been using fossil fuels such as charcoal, petrol, gas, and diesel as their main source of energy. With increasing global warming due to the greenhouse effect of these fossil fuels, people are getting more noticed about unsafe use of them. Some of them believe that a safe alternative source of energy should be searched urgently to save our planet.

People use fossil fuel for various purposes such as using gas for cooking and in air conditioning, driving engines with petroleum and diesel in vehicles and factories. So, we have enjoyed uncountable profits by the use of fossil fuels. But it not only gives us benefits but also brings many adverse effects. The most terrible negative impact is its contribution to global warming. Carbon dioxide emission from burning of the fossil fuels makes air pollution and also damage of ozone layer of our atmosphere which usually protects us from dangerous UV rays from the sun. Without the ozone layer, more UV rays will fall on our planet making the world very hot and increasing the risk of skin cancer among the people.

To prevent further damage of ozone layer, scientists and researchers are looking into other alternative sources of energy which are clean and safe. For example, Italy is famous for a widespread use of wind energy since several years ago. Japanese are using nuclear power which is very cheap and clean. But the amount of global use of clean energy is very much less compared to the use of fossil fuels. So, governments are mainly responsible for exploring more sources of clean energy and enforcing the people to use it by imposing regulations as well as by increasing the people awareness of negative impacts of fossil fuels.

To conclude, as the global warming effects of fossil fuels is a highly challenging problem of our planet, increasing use of alternative clean and safe energy is urgently demanding to save our beautiful planet in healthy condition.

Sample 4:

Many people believe that the research for green and safe energy as a replacement for oil should be the main global priority these days. To a certain point, I would agree with that, but some considerations should be cautiously measured as well.

It is true that as for the sake of the environment, people should seek for a safer and cleaner source of energy. It is undeniable that the world has become overdependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil as their source of energy. Consequently, air pollution has become a serious issue in certain cities such as Beijing and Mexico City. Therefore, some countries have been spending a large amount of money for the development of the renewable energy. Some of the examples would be the solar panel system, windmill, nuclear plant and hydro. In fact, the time has come for the world to work together in harmony to introduce an effective solution towards the invention and use of an alternative fossil fuel.

Despite all the positive sides of alternative energy, people should also be aware of several things. Firstly, many people do not realise that some of these energy generators are also dangerous for the environment. For example, many scientists believe that nuclear power plants are friendly to the environment, but these plants must be carefully maintained. A small leakage in the generator could become a fatal issue for the society, as in such cases it became a national disaster. Secondly, the expenditure for research and development of green energy worldwide is higher than the exploration cost of fossil fuels. Consequently, the government must also provide an extra budget for that around the world. It is also difficult for all nations to work together towards the introduction of an alternative energy source. For instance, the USA might adopt a policy not to use the fossil fuel and invest in a more environment-friendly energy source, however, adopting this same policy for countries like India and Pakistan would be quite impossible.                                     

In conclusion, to a certain point, I would agree that we should seek for safer and greener sources of energy as an alternative to fossil fuels globally. But I also believe that numerous research should also be conducted with proper feasibility studies and cautious measurements as it could also have catastrophic effects on the environment as well. And then the government in each country should also provide a higher budget for research as they are more expensive than the fossil fuel exploration.

Sample 5:

The research, investigation and usage of an alternative of crude oil and its by-products is considered to be given the most important world attention nowadays. In my opinion, I agree that exploration and research on alternatives to fossil fuels should be a targeted goal for the world because it will solve many problems and reduce quite a good number of environmental issues.

It is obvious that efforts made by the human being to explore and advance their surrounding have also caused major problems such as water, air and environmental pollution. An excessive amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere has dramatically affected the ozone layer, which is supposed to protect human habitat. The fossil fuel is damaging the environment in an unbelievable pace and many world leaders have already agreed that the use of fossil fuels should be controlled to save the environment. Now the question arises how much importance it should get? As it is related to the very existence of the mother planet – Earth, and a global problem, without any doubt it should be given a global priority. If not, after few decades it would be too late to control the catastrophic consequences.

To urgently tackle this problem, world leaders from different countries should sit together and agree to policies that all countries in the world would follow. This meeting should be done as soon as possible. It is also important that some major safe alternatives like solar power, biogas, green energy etc. should be widely used and the government should encourage people to use it. In addition, the climate issue involves all nations of the world, and the fatal effects will affect the every single of them. That is why it is imperative that global attention and sponsorship are given by the governments of different countries and international bodies to conduct the research, to invent a safe alternative to the fossil fuel immediately.

In conclusion, it is very important that governments of numerous countries set aside a robust financial plan and policy paralleled to the exploration of green energy in order to combat anticipated problem that may arise.

Sample 6:

With the recent statistics highlighted by scholars around the world, it has been suggested to us that there will be a shortage of fossil fuels in a few years. I completely bolster the opinion that finding the best alternative source must be the global priority.

The usage of energy in this ever-developing world is not likely to reduce, but the source from which this energy is drawn can be changed. At the Glasgow global summit, almost all world leaders mentioned that fossil fuels will end by the year 2050, if we do not start finding an alternative aggressively from now, we will have to face a huge problem in the coming years as the regeneration of fossil fuels on an average takes more than thousands of years.

Moreover, the amount of pollution has skyrocketed. Cities like Delhi have an air quality index of 400, this is due to the current usage of fossil fuels. Humans are increasing their carbon footprints daily as well. If such activities are not brought to a halt our earth would not be a livable place in a few years. The exponential increase in pollution will have a detrimental effect on our health as well.

However, we know that there are a lot of issues that we need to address before we pour all our attention into finding alternatives. The current Ukraine-Russia war has brought the global peace issue into the limelight. If we find alternatives to fossil fuels without tackling such a problem, we will only put more fuel on the fire. 

To sum up, it is evident that fossil fuel is a critical issue that needs to be immediately addressed by the whole world due to the shortage of fossil fuels.

Sample 7:

Global warming is a major issue, for which the increased use of fossil fuels is to be blamed. Many perceive that rather than just feeling sad about this issue, the world should prioritize developing other ways to produce energy. I have a similar opinion; my preference is elaborated further.

According to recent reports in the Washington Post, the temperature of our planet is increasing by 4 degrees each year. With these numbers, the volume of the ocean will immensely increase, thus, reducing the mass of land. This problem should be the priority of the world as no one can do it single-handedly. Moreover, there are many nations that are not capable of inventing alternatives. In this case, other countries should put in efforts to tackle this situation cumulatively. 

Furthermore, we need to comprehend the fact that fossil fuels are non-renewable sources. I would like to put forth the fact that usage of fossil fuels has caused a shift in tectonic plates. The mass extraction of fuels has emptied the reservoirs. This space can sooner or later cause some calamities like earthquake and tsunamis, ultimately causing loss to human civilization. 

On the flip side, there are tons of other problems like famine and drought which need to be addressed quickly before handling any other problem. There are millions of people living in such situations in which they are not even able to provide themselves with clean water and thus, they are all mostly suffering from malnutrition. Indeed, fossil fuel is a global issue but we cannot skip this issue.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that new discoveries and exploration should be done immediately. If we do not find alternatives, we will soon have to face a global crisis.

Sample 8:

Over a period of time, it has been observed that the utilization of fossil fuels has skyrocketed. A group of people suggests that the whole world should take this notice seriously, thus, everyone should prioritize finding new alternatives. My stance is explained in the ensuing write-ups.    
In recent years, the population around the world has increased dramatically, and it is anticipated to shoot up more in the coming years. With the statistics that are available to us, we currently do not have enough resources to cater to the needs of all in the future. We need to save for future generations and provide an alternative to them as well. It can be expected that the duration required for the invention will take a few years, if we do not start focusing on this subject right now there will undoubtedly be a global crisis in a few decades. 

To add to this, it is evident that fossil fuels are an integral part of our life. An increase in the demand for fossil fuel will directly affect the daily lives of all the common man with meager wages. The rocketed cost of crude oil will unquestionably hike the price of basic necessities.

On the contrary, it cannot be disregarded that greedy humans are not capable of handling alternative methods. The recent event of the Beirut explosion has proved that under the influence of some authorities, people might misuse alternative methods for their interests. The populace either abuses or rejects the advanced technology. 

In a nutshell, I stand by my opinion and suggest that even though there might be some consequences for an alternative method, we must find them and restrict their usage to control problems that might arise in the future.

Sample 9:

Fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas are the primary source of energy in the world. These fuels have fuelled almost all major industries and economies across the globe. Many experts propose that finding other forms of energy that are safer than these non-renewable ones should be the topmost priority of all the nations. I strongly agree with this view.

To begin with, the world has overused fossil fuels without paying attention to their detrimental effects on our natural environment. Global warming and soaring air pollution levels have become a threat to our planet and our existence. All nations are experiencing a change in their climate. Their citizens are suffering from diseases caused by hazardous air pollutants. Unquestionably, these are international problems and resolving them is beyond the capacity of any one nation.

Furthermore, the reservoirs of coal, crude oil and natural gas are depleting at a rate faster than ever before. The day when these sources will not be able to support us is not very far. Definitely, the way forward is global co-operation which will focus on the research and development of sustainable means of energy. Many wealthy countries like UK, Japan and USA are trying to reduce their dependence on non-renewable fuels. They are developing technology for other eco-friendly forms of energy such as solar, water, wind and geothermal etc. But developing and poorer nations are not on par with them. I believe that co-ordinated efforts will be fruitful in bridging this gap as well.

Of course, there are several other serious global problems such as illiteracy, poverty, shortage of food and water, unemployment and terrorism etc. They are as important as exploring alternative sources of energy. Nonetheless, the efforts to repair the damaged environment should be prioritized before it is too late.

To conclude, the unquenched thirst for development and the rise in the global population have exacerbated immense pressure on fossil fuels. Personally, I believe that sincere efforts at a global level are required not only to meet the increasing demands of energy but also to mitigate the problems that excessive exploitation of non-renewable fuels has caused.

Sample 10:

Environmentalists in the current world have been arguing for the use of safe alternatives to fossil fuels which need to be explored and developed as the most important global priority. I certainly agree with the statement considering the need to use alternatives as part of environment conservation. I would be presenting my ideas in the following essay stating effective reasons for the same.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources of the environment and have been used for many years. Considering that they cannot be renewed it is important to understand that their rigorous use would eventually result in depletion of the resource. Moreover, fossil fuels being used immensely put a lot of pressure on these resources which would result in a potential situation where the future generation would not be able to use them.

Effectively, as the environmentalists argue that alternatives to fossil fuels need to be considered by different industries to carry out their operations, renewable sources of energy could be used as significant alternatives. Moreover, the effect of using fossil fuels on the environment is harmful with the release of poisonous gases resulting in air pollution. It is also important to consider the fact that if the recent world developments do not consider using alternative forms of energy to fossil fuels, the natural resources of the earth could not be repaired.

Hence, I sternly believe that resources alternatives to fossil fuels need to be used in the current world and should be a global priority as a way to protect the environment and the needs of future generations.

Sample 11:

The world is growing increasingly concerned about the reckless use of fossil fuels and environmentalists have argued for the use of alternatives to them. Considering the impact of fossil fuels on the environment and their non-renewable nature, I agree with the view that alternatives need to be considered to fossil fuels, supporting which I would present my reasons.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources in the environment and with immense use of them for ages, the possibility of the natural resource getting depleted from the environment is high.

Moreover, fossil fuels are being constantly used and burnt in the environment which has resulted in the release of gases like carbon monoxide leading to air pollution. This has increased the number of health issues for humans as well as an unstable environment for animals to survive affecting their lives tremendously.

With an increasing concern for climate change which has been affecting the world on a large scale, the burning of fossil fuels has been considered by scientists to be immensely harmful and contributing towards climate change further. From hazardous health issues increasing on a global scale due to climate change and an impact on the environment as well, renewable energy resources need to be utilised as an alternative which ensures a reduction in these resources.

Considering these aspects of climate change, environmental impact and the effect on living beings that fossil fuels have, alternatives to fossil fuels is what I consider should be a global priority.

Sample 12:

The global concern for climate change has made environmentalists and scientists evaluate that alternatives to fossil fuels should become a global priority. Considering the impact of fossil fuels on the environment and living beings, I agree with the view that alternatives to fossil fuels should be considered a priority by all which I would elucidate in the essay with supporting reasons.

The environment has been going through changes in terms of being affected by increasing climate change issues for which burning of fossil fuels is a huge reason. The harmful gases released by fossil fuels have a negative impact on ecological conditions including human and animal lives. Moreover, the rigorous use of fossil fuels has resulted in the depletion of resources considering that fossil fuels are non-renewable. The effect has been increasingly felt in terms of rising carbon footprint which needs to be reduced effectively.

Focusing on alternatives to fossil fuels includes the use of renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines as resources for the generation of electricity and production of energy. Industries would be able to reduce their carbon footprint with the reduction in the use of fossil fuels and thereby preventing harm to the environment.

In my opinion, I would consider that incorporating alternatives to fossil fuels should become a global priority in the wake of protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance. Effectively, carbon footprint would reduce and the negative impact on the environment could be curbed.

Sample 13:

Fossil fuels are sources of energy that have developed within earth's crust over millions of years and our dependence on them is a big issue. It is generally believed Discovery and development of alternative eco-friendly forms of energy should be the topic of global concern. In my opinion, I completely agree that searching for substitutes of non-renewable must be a priority.

Formation of fossil fuels takes a long period of time and are on the verge of depletion due to continual exploitation. for example, as per the recent data revealed by the department of energy, USA, it is clear abundant supplies of fossil fuels will end, bringing down the economic order with it.

At current rates of production, oil and gas will run out in about 55 years and coal in 110. majority of oil fields (situated in the Middle East) in the world are associated with problems both political and economic. Determining a new method or solution with respect to finding different countries to create new fuels would reduce the unrest and conflict resulting from the world's dependence on fuel supply from the Middle East.

Another reason that emphasizes the need for clean renewable sources of energy is the threat to the environment caused by the use of fossil fuels. During the combustion process, a variety of emissions and particulates, including ash, are released into the atmosphere. Primary releases are sulfur, nitrogen, and carbon, which can be harmful to the environment. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is believed to be a key factor in global climate change. There are also environmental risks associated with extracting, transporting, and utilizing fossil fuels.

In conclusion, to deal with the reducing reserves of fossil fuels and the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, eco-friendly replacements of non-renewable energy resource need to be a prime concern.

Sample 14:

It is true to say that fossil fuels are still our main source of energy today, and as more countries develop their industries and their economies, the scale of their use continues to grow.

However, we are now well aware of the consequences of relying on this energy source for our natural environment. Global warming and the damage to the protective ozone layer are caused by carbon dioxide and other by-products of fossil fuels. So, I certainly agree that these problems are global rather than national ones. They threaten our whole planet and no action by a single country could solve them. Furthermore, these problems are urgent as nobody knows when our natural world will be so damaged that it will no longer be able to support us.

While some countries already use safer alternative energy sources, such as wind, water or solar power, it seems that there has not been sufficient investment in developing the technology to make such alternative viable for all. So, it should definitely be a global priority to invest in such research and development.

Obviously, there are other global priorities that we also need to address, such as poverty and diseases. But while it may be the case that these problems are just as important as the energy problem, there is a sense that time is ticking away for our planet and any solutions to the energy issue will take some time to achieve.

In conclusion, I agree that finding alternatives to fossil fuels is certainly the most pressing global priority, if not the most important one for our world today.

Sample 15:

The world is getting affected by the extensive consumption of conventional fuels. The abundance of traditional energy sources is making some nations wealthy but at the cost of putting their environment at risk. So, I believe inspecting alternative sources of energy must be the first preference of whole nations in the world.

First off, in the absence of clean energy sources, the whole world would be at risk. In other words, when traditional fuels are used, these create toxic gases; resultantly, the environment gets polluted, and the life of its inhabitants is also in danger. To exemplify it, if anyone nation is experiencing environmental hazards, it does not have the meaning that it will not affect its neighbouring countries. Therefore, if all countries work together to combat this problem, only then the world can escape from swallowing pollution.

What’s more, cleaner energy sources such as biofuels, solar energy, wind energy as well as nuclear energy do not cause such energy destruction as has been done by using fossil fuels. There is negligible human loss, and these sources keep the environment non-toxic in comparison with petrol or diesel. Moving further, when the cost of these conventional fuels rises, the whole countries suffer because they are directly or indirectly linked with each other in terms of trade and commerce, foreign aid, and to name but a few. Thus, one motto for whole the world can lead them on the way to progress.

To conclude, thus, it is apparent that for the survival of the human species on this planet, needs first priority of the world is to find out non-renewable sources other than conventional fuels. Only then the world will be the safest place for all organisms on the earth.

Sample 16:

Fossil fuels are something we get from nature. Coal, crude oil and natural gas are some of them. This helps to propel our cars, power our business and so on, but on the other hand, it causes harm by causing respiratory diseases and climate changes. Alternatives should be found in generating fossil fuels. I firmly agree with this perception as human beings must take responsibility for their actions and have a vision of how the future would look. In the forthcoming paragraph, I will be presenting my views.

As they say “the environment is where we all meet, where we have a mutual interest, one of all we share. The use of fossil fuels causes environmental damage. The main problem arises when the gases are produced by burning the fuel. The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide is a serious injury to our mother earth. This increases radiation and contributes to global warming. Owning cars is indeed a symbol of an improved lifestyle. But we should become aware that we are emitting greenhouse gases into the firmament, which causes annihilation to our planet.

Fossil fuels are the ones that are non-renewable. This is one of the important consequences of using fossil fuels. A lot of surrogates are found, but all of them have little contradictions too. For example, if we use solar, it has its own limitation because it’s not available all the time. Another alternative is electricity, and it also has its own curb. So, this is a field where still research is going on to find the best alternative for fossil fuels, because the fact that fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and can be depleted within a short period of time means that alternative energy is one of the foremost issues of our time.

Though some may argue that funds towards this research is a road to nowhere, there is no denying the fact that there is a depletion of fossil fuels and that we should start searching for alternatives.

Thus, the ultimate point regarding this fossil fuel is that it’s running out of supply with each day passing by. If the higher demands and lack of supply comes, our entire system will cut short operating efficiently and puts our lives at risk. The fact that we are running out of fossil fuels is a harbinger to greater risks. Therefore, find other possible courses of action which are greener for our life as well as the living world.

Sample 17:

The dependency on fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil has surged in recent years. Many environmentalists argue that alternate techniques are needed since many businesses and economies rely on fossil fuels. In my opinion, I agree that fossil fuels affect individuals in the most treacherous ways. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I shall explain my point of view and give supporting reasons.

Fossil fuel resources are finite and using them at such a high rate will eventually have pressure on them and ultimately lead to depletion. Coal-burning must be halted, as it contributes to poor air quality. In addition, hazardous gas emissions wreak havoc on the ecosystem. As a result, it would have a catastrophic effect on all species on the planet, including humans, raising the chance of death from stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory sickness in individuals who are exposed. Moreover, the continued use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gases is causing dangerous levels of global warming.

Scientists claim that individuals cannot continue burning fossil fuels, as it has dangerous impacts on climate change. Immediate efforts, such as switching to renewable energy, is extremely necessary, else the earth will reach its tipping points fast where it would be in a state beyond repair. Extreme heat waves, droughts, sea-level rise, arctic melting, and other hazardous health concerns will eventually be reduced if humans can decrease their use of fossil fuels.

Admittedly fossil fuels are very important economically and used to produce energy. Yet, fossil fuels emit pollutants into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to climate change.

To sum up, continued fossil fuel consumption would have pernicious effects on humans. Hence,

developing innovative ways to create energy that does not rely on fossil fuels is critical today, as burning them has a detrimental impact on human health.

Sample 18:

It is obvious that the extraction and usage of oil, coal and gas poses a threat to the environment we live in. This means that more energy has to be generated from renewable sources. However, such type of energy is very expensive to produce and requires heavy investment.

Undoubtedly, effort should be made to preserve the surrounding we live in in its pristine form. When fossil fuels are burnt to generate energy, dozens of poisonous substances are expelled into the air. The carbon dioxide particles are inhaled when we breathe, making irreversible damage to our bodies. Consequently, life expectancy decreases because pollution is the main cause of deadly diseases among the population. In Cairo, for instance, pollution has already taken its toll on the people and the hospitals are packed with patients with lung problems. Furthermore, environment contamination by the use of traditional energy sources has led to a problem which seems to be insurmountable – the global warming.

However, critics of renewable energy have made claims which are justified. Firstly, green energy is very expensive to harness. Secondly, it requires new technology to be developed which entails years of costly research. Thirdly, it is hard to implement any environmentally friendly technology and predict the output. For example, the idea of producing energy from seaweed in Scotland failed. Although having undergone all the necessary testing in a lab, it did not reach the intended capacity on site and needed further subsidies.

To sum up, although green energy should be the top priority for the future generations, mankind has to understand that the change is not going to happen overnight. Moreover, the cost to the taxpayer should be considered.
