托福写作范文：减少污染的最好办法是政府提高燃料成本

2018-05-22 12:11:23来源：网络

　　Governments sometimes try to impose price regulations, but these always end in disaster. I oppose any attempt at governmental interference by artificially raising the prices of gasoline and electricity since it will not help conserve energy at all.

　　Even if the government raises the price of energy, it is highly unlikely that people will begin conserving it in a bid to save money. All throughout history, prices have increased on many products, but that has not stopped people from using them. This is clear simply by looking at recent increases in the price of oil. Despite seemingly setting record highs every week, most people have not curbed their energy-consuming habits. People are still driving as much as always. Increasing the price of energy will therefore take money out of people's pockets and give it to the government without any practical effect on conserving energy.

　　Another point of consideration is that an increase in the price of energy will make most people angry-that is all. The majority of people are simply unaware as to how much energy they consume. So, after a brief period of anger, they will get used to the high prices, and they resume using lots of energy. A famous example of this is the 1970s gasoline crisis in America. As the price of gas increased, many people bought small, fuel-economy cars. Later, once the crisis ended, people went back to big, gas-guzzling cars. Expecting that raising the price of energy will cause people to conserve energy is a mistake.

　　Any attempt to increase the price of gasoline and electricity will be viewed as an unfair attempt to tax people out of their money. People often feel that the government taxes them too much, and they will not appreciate what would be regarded as a huge energy tax. Newspapers often have editorials complaining about governmental waste. The government cannot account for a lot of the people's tax money, so most citizens will not want to trust the government with even more of their hard-earned money. People will never think the government raises the price of energy to conserve it.

　　It seems obvious that raising the price of gasoline and electricity is a bad idea and will not lead to conservation; instead, it will anger a large number of people and be considered an unfair and excessive energy tax. There are many ways to conserve energy, but raising its price is not one of them.
