答案 ENERGY SHORTAGE: HOW TO SOLVE IT China was sweating a lot over the last summer, not only because of the continual heat waves. Lack of coal and oil also resulted in a power shortage. According to news reports, many cities had to restrict the power usage for air conditioning and illumination, and thousands of manufacturers in Shanghai had to reschedule their production to evenings or weekends. As it is, energy has become one of the biggest problems the world is faced with today. Many scientists and economists point out that our natural resources are very much limited. If we keep consuming our resources at the present rate, they warn, the world will soon be running out of oil, coal and metals, and this will certainly lead to a serious energy crisis threatening mankind’s survival. The majority of the world’s people have responded with a clamor for more strict conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things go on like that, we will eventually leave for our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to enhance energy efficiency, reduce the number of high energy-consuming projects, and cut down energy waste of any form so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources. But conservation alone is not all the answer. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately. And when they are gone they are gone for ever, for resources can not reproduce themselves. In the long run, developing new sources of energy and increasing the use of new and renewable energy are more important ways to solve the energy problem. As we know, governments of some European countries, such as Germany and Italy, have worked out all sorts of incentive programs to encourage people to use solar energy. And recently some scientists have asserted that China has abundant wind energy re serve, which could be vital to properly solve the country’s energy issue. So, searching unexplored areas for new supplies seems to be the only way out of our energy-shortage predicament.
