Environmentally Friendly Renewable Energy

Answer 1

One possible version:

In our country, the traditional energy sources like coal, oil and natural gas are still widely used, making up over eighty percent of the total energy consumption. However, as a worldwide shortage of such energy is seemingly growing more serious, renewable energy sources, such as, solar energy, wind energy and hydropower, are being developed and made good use of at an increasingly fast rate.

As we all know, our dependence on coal and oil for energy supply has caused severe environmental problems. It has brought about heavy air pollution. There are frequent acid rains and smog in some areas. It has also contributed to the global warming and other problems. Moreover, such energy sources will be exhausted in less than a hundred years if exploited at the present rate. Renewable energy, on the other hand, has great advantages. It is obviously inexhaustible. And above all, it is clean and causes little or no pollution to the environment.

We are glad that our government encourages the development of renewable energy. With more and more renewable energy, we will live in an increasingly beautiful and harmonious environment.
