VIII. Read the passage below and answer the questions:
We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try we'll never succeed. Instead of burning
fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be
produced from any sources of energy.
If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by
conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power,
tidal power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze or starve to death. Many
countries are spending much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun, the waves and
the winds last forever. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer sources of energy.

Solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population. Many countries are
ready using Solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun's energy is used to hea
water, so on cloudy days, you can use Solar energy too.
