Power shortage
Every day at home, at university or at work we use computers, watch television, cook something on a stove or switch on a lamp. To tell the truth, I do not think that at such moments we are aware of the fact that we use electricity. Whereas, the sources of energy are not endless, they are limited. So, I personally think that the shortage of power is one of the most serious problems the society faces nowadays, because it retrains the development of economy and brings inconvenience to people’s lives.

Nowadays the industry develops quickly and some of the branches grow rapidly. For example, the automobile manufacture has grown for the last few years because people are in need of cars. Factories need more electricity to produce them. Furthermore, some new branches of industry which demand significant power input have appeared. Moreover, the housebuilding has also grown in demand. A great number of high-rise apartment and detached houses have been built. So, more houses we build more energy we need to provide them with central heating and electricity. If we continue consuming energy, we may deplete power resources.

Nowadays society is concerned with this problem and scientists and politicians try to find different solutions of this problem and to work out new methods of reducing the level of power consumption So, I am going to describe some of the ideas and plans.
Firstly, it is suggested that new producers of power should be launched. For example, new state district and hydroelectric power stations can be built. Secondly a good way to solve this problem is to develop new technologies which will not consume much energy. Thirdly, new sources of power such as sun and wind energy can be used more widely. I also think that saving energy may be useful. People may try to lower the amount of electricity they use.

Finally, I would like to say that the power shortage is a serious problem. So, to solve it we need a complex application of all the ideas and plans.

Really profound investigation. Thank's to you I could imagine for a while our world without energy. It's a nightmare. Apalling consequences. Now I see that's a great problem.
