關(guān)于再生能源的托福作文范文

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Renewable resources of energy （sun, wind, water） will soon replace the old resources of fossil fuels （gas, oil and coal）.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 　　你是否同意以下觀點？不久之后，可再生能源（如太陽能、風能和水能）將取代舊的礦物能源（比如汽油、石油和煤炭）。請用具體的理由和事例來說明。

　　Taking “soon” as the key word, I do not believe that renewable resources will be replacing fossil fuels anytime in the near future despite the fact that the gathering evidence of the pollution from fossil fuels is dramatically changing the quality of life on earth.

　　The major reason that this change will not come soon is that fossil fuels and their usage facilities and devices and our transportation energy production methods are still very plentiful and cheap compared to renewable energy production techniques and devices.

　　This is the key factor because much of the world is still too poor to be able to afford the change to cleaner forms of energy. This term “poor” refers to individuals in many nations, even the developed ones, as well as the nations themselves. Individuals cannot afford the equipment. Nations do not have sufficient funds for necessary production facilities, supply systems, or infrastructure changes to put these sources into mass utilization.

　　Another reason is that there is not sufficient technological development of user-friendly devices at a cheap enoughcost to make the transition feasible for the mass numbers of those still using fossil fuels.

　　Yet another reason is that oil producing nations are not putting sufficient effort into the transition. This is understandable for an economic perspective for these nations long dependent on revenues from fossil fuels.

　　Because of the world economic crisis and the too common problem of terrorism and the Iraq and Afghanistan situations, many nations and peoples are simply distracted from this issue and have problems which they feel are of more urgent importance.

　　Lastly, it seems that the general public is not sufficiently convinced of the urgency of the situation to bring pressure on their governments to do more or to take the initiative themselves to make the necessary changes in fuel sources.Thus it is clear that the switch to renewable energy sources will be too long in coming,certainly not“soon”。

　　如果著眼于“soon（不久之后）”這個字眼，我不認為在不久的將來可再生能源能夠取代礦物能源，盡管大量事實證明這些礦物能源帶來的污染極大地降低了我們的生活質(zhì)量。

　　這種改變不能很快實現(xiàn)的主要原因是，與生產(chǎn)可再生能源的技術(shù)和設(shè)備相比，使用礦物能源的機器設(shè)備以及它在交通運輸中的應(yīng)用方法和設(shè)備要更加豐富和廉價。這是關(guān)鍵的因素，因為全世界的大部分依然貧窮，無力承受這種更為清潔的能源。這里的“貧窮”是指許多國家中的個人，甚至是發(fā)達國家中的某些人；還有很多國家本身。個人無力購買這種設(shè)備。而國家也沒有足夠的資金去承受必要的生產(chǎn)設(shè)備、供應(yīng)體系或者基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施以大量推廣使用這些能源。

　　不能實現(xiàn)的另一個原因是，沒有充足的技術(shù)將易操作設(shè)備以足夠低廉的成本向大量仍然使用礦物能源的人群實現(xiàn)可行性過渡。

　　還有一個原因是，那些石油生產(chǎn)國并沒有為此花費足夠多的心思。從經(jīng)濟的角度來看是可以理解的，畢竟它們長期依賴這些礦物燃料收入。

　　世界經(jīng)濟危機、恐怖主義行徑以及伊拉克和阿富汗的局勢不穩(wěn)定使許多國家和民族分心，它們認為，與能源問題相比，所面臨的這些問題更為緊急和重要。

　　后，公眾似乎對能源形勢的緊迫性并不足夠確信，這使得他們沒有對政府更多地施壓，公眾自己也沒有主動在能源問題上做出必要的改變。

　　所以，轉(zhuǎn)變使用可再生能源的周期顯然會很長，而不是在“不久的將來”。
