Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's energy
resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
economically and try to find out alternative sources of power: According to Professor Marvin Burnham of
the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too
late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve (duyệt/ chấp nhận) of using nuclear power because it's very
dangerous. What will happen if there is a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity (tia phóng xạ) causes

cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use
natural resources as economical as possible.
