3. Sample

     In my opinion, renewable energy sources can replace fossil fuels, due to environmental protection, human security, and cost efficiency.      

     To begin with, in order for us to address global warming, we have no choice but to achieve carbon free society.  The recent climate march, joined by millions of people, especially young people, reminded us that the national pledges committed by the parties to the Paris Agreement on climate change are insufficient to limit global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius before pre industrial levels.  Thus, transition from fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources should be accelerated to cut the greenhouse gas emission dramatically.        

     In addition, to protect our societies from the danger of air pollution, we should no longer allow power plants and heavy industries, steel production in particular, to burn coals.  These days, it has been frequently reported that in some megalopolises in emerging economies, such as China and India, people are suffering badly from severe air pollutions caused by coal burning and over crowed gasoline powered automobiles.  To mitigate these harmful situations, we must stop coal burning and transit from traditional cars to electric cars.          

     Finally, the costs for power generation by using clean and renewable energy sources have become affordable thanks to the advances in technologies.  Until recently, some people in business sector expressed their concerns about investing in new energy sources, such as solar and wind energies because huge costs will have very negative effects on economic growth.  But the breakthrough in solar energy technology has made it possible to replace fossil fuels with clean and renewable energies at affordable cost.               

     It is true that it will take time, money and energy to achieve massive transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.   However, because of the three reasons I mentioned above, renewable energy sources can replace fossil fuels.
