Alternative Energy or Fossil Fuel

In the article, “Alternative Energy,” the author wants Bush’s government to work more than talk about alternative energy strategy. According to the article the author says that Bush’s government spends millions on research for new energy because they are trying to not rely on foreign countries’ oil. However, the author states that money spent on researches are less than the money spent to encourage oil companies. Also, he states that Bush’ idea is to drill for more oil, but there are many people who do not want more drilling for oil because they want to keep the environment clean. So, the author encourages the government to spend more time in finding new energy. He gives an example of the car fuel E85 which people cannot find easily. The author suggested that working on improving alternative energy is better than talking.
The need of alternative energy is more common in these days. We are used to using the fossil fuels for our cars which cause air pollution and water pollution beside the cost of producing them. We cannot stop using fuels unless we find new energy that can do the same job. Because of the air pollution and many reasons, people prefer the alternative energy over fossil fuels. Therefore, we should increase the support of finding alternative energy. There are three reasons that make the alternative energy better than fossils fuel energy; less pollution, cheaper, and takes less time to make.
First of all, world pollution is increasing because of the fossil fuels processing. The increasing of oil production will cause air pollution and oceans pollution. The smoke that comes from oil factories pollutes the natural air which biosphere breathes. Also, the oil leakage into the oceans pollutes the water and covers the sea animals with oil, which causes their death. Furthermore, the pollution, which comes from oil factories, causes many health problems for people. Therefore, many conservationists complain on the increasing of oil drilling “Alternative Energy: Talk Is Not Strategy,” (para, 6). So, finding another clean alternative energy is better than fossil fuels. For example, using natural gas as a fuel for cars is more efficient and clear, so it will not pollute the air.
Second, oil and the fuels produced from oil are very expensive. The cost of drilling for oil cost too much money, which makes the prices increase. The prices keep increasing, so some people cannot pay for it. This is also might cause some businesses layoff because they rely on oil. On the other hand, alternative energy is cost less than oil, so it will be cheaper. For example, solar energy does not need much money to transfer it to electricity. Therefore, people can pay for it in the beginning. Alternative energy also has many opportunities jobs for people and this is good to increase businesses. So, it is better to use alternative energy instead of oil.
Finally, oil processing takes long time to be useful. It is hard to find fossils fuel underground then produce them to oil. Also, the transportation of oil to consumers takes long time. So, wasting time with this energy will effect on businesses and world economy. Again as examples, solar energy and alternative energy are easy to produce rapidly, so they are helpful for world economy. As a result, exploring new alternative energy will lead to keep world production’s time and this will improve the world economy.
In conclusion, the world must stop relying on fossil fuels. They cause the environmental pollution, which is harmful for people. Next, producing oil cost a lot, so it will be expensive to use. Furthermore, spending a lot of time to produce them is one of the problems might delay some businesses. Therefore, finding alternative energy is the best solution to these problems. Also, it will improve the world economy with clear environment and will give us trustful energy we can rely on for future.
