fossil fuels and nuclear power,as well as with different types of renewable energy alternatives,the author aims to justify his view that a severe energy crisis is coming,and that effective solutions to the problem will not come from any single energy technology but from a body of diverse energy technologies.The text can be divided into three parts.,Main Idea of the Text,Part I(Paras.1_),3,Beginning with a mention of the Industrial Revolution,this part briefly lists the problems associated with fossil fuels and nuclear energy,and leads us to the main topic and thesis of the essay:The eventual depletion of fossil fuels that hitherto proved so reliable has left us with no choice but to prepare for a new age of energy synthesis.,Introduction,What energy sources have the industrialized countries depended on for their industrial development in the past?(Para.1),Industrialized countries have beenrelying on fossil fuels like _ and _ _ as well as uranium-based _ _ to meet their ever-increasing energy demands.,oil,natural,gas,nuclear,power,nuclear power is not really cheap when all costs are considered;disastrous nuclear accidents could happen;nuclear waste can be used improperly to cause damage.,There is a dark side to the dependenceon fossil fuels and nuclear power for our energyneeds.(Para.2),fossil fuels:,nuclear power:,1)their supply is limited;2)they cause health and environmental problems.,What is the thesis statement?(Para.3),depletion,energy synthesis,Part I(Paras.4 _),8,This part focuses on various types of renewable energy alternatives and their problems.It can be seen as providing reasons to explain why energy crisis is still likely to come despite all these energy alternatives.,Body,Body,Renewable energy alternatives still have various obstacles to overcome though they look promising.(Para.4),What point does the author want to illustrate by telling us the advantages and disadvantages of different renewable energy sources？(Paras.4-8),Body,promising,efficiently,lower,Part III(Para.9),Summary and call to action:1)An energy crisis is approaching.2)We must act quickly and work together to find the most effective solutions.,Conclusion,Introduction(Paras.13):Problems with fossil fuels and nuclear power,with the thesis statement provided.,Industrialized countries have been depending on fossil fuels like oil and natural gas as well as uranium-based nuclear power to meet their ever-increasing energy needs.(Para.1),There are problems with fossil fuels and nuclear power.The time when there is sufficient supply of cheap energy will soon be over.(Para.2),The eventual depletion of fossil fuels that hitherto proved reliable has left us with no choice but to prepare for a new age of energy synthesis.(Para.3),Body(Paras.48):Renewable energy alternatives and their problems.,General statement:Renewable energy alternatives still face various problems though they look promising.(Para.4),Solar energy is unlimited,but is very expensive to use.(Para.5),Wind energy is enormous,but is unreliable and expensive to produce.(Para.6),Hydroelectric power is clean,but is environmentally unfriendly.(Para.7),Biomass energy is abundant,but is air-polluting and costly.(Para.8),1)An energy crisis is approaching.2)We must act quickly and work together to find the most
