Let’s Anchor Your Learning

Read the statements below. Justify the statement. “None of the known alternatives
will be as cheap, convenient or as energy rich as oil.” Write your answer in the space
provided.

Economic development and prosperity over the past century has been built on cheap
and abundant oil-based energy. After the production peak, as supplies decline and
prices rise, (with rising populations and continued industrial development the demand
for oil will continue to increase) the world will have to use less fossil fuel or find alternate
sources of energy. Possible choices include gas, non-conventional oil and gas, nuclear
power, hydro-electricity, wind, tide, solar, geothermal, biomass, hydrogen and over unity
energy sources. None of the known alternatives will be as cheap, convenient or as
energy rich as oil.

“None of the known alternatives will be as cheap, convenient or as energy rich as oil.”
For the past few years the economic development is trying to find some substitute for oil.
And yes they find many choices but none of it is cheap as oil. Coal has been used
because the commercial revolution however handiest with inside the remaining a hundred
years have massive portions of oil and fuel line been eliminated from underground
reservoirs. Oil and fuel line are used as gasoline electricity in combustion engines and as
"feed stock" for different industries — uncooked substances for the manufacture of
different chemicals, inclusive of plastics and agricultural fertilizer. There is a constrained
quantity of fossil gasoline. It is not "renewable" and there may be no recognized manner
to make more. The electricity saved in oil is appreciably extra than in some other presently
to be had source. There isn't any different equivalently reasonably-priced and effective
electricity to be had from nuclear electricity, herbal fuel line, sun power, wind power,
hydrogen, biomass or coal.
