文章大意:本文介绍了由于石油价格上涨和供应减少,科学家们正寻求替代能源,包括太阳能、风能和核能。文章详细描述了这三种能源的特点和应用,强调它们在解决能源问题上的潜力和优势。
Oil becomes more expensive and difficult to find. It’s becoming less and less, too. Scientists are looking for other energies, including solar (太阳能), wind and even nuclear (核能) power.
Solar boards (板) catch energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. One of the world’s largest solar power stations is in Germany. What’s more, solar energy produces no waste.
Wind, the fastest growing kind of energy, is another way of collecting energy from the sun. As we all know, Holland is famous for its wind electricity. And it’s also called Windmill Kingdom (风车之国).
Nuclear power produces electricity more cheaply with no carbon (碳) waste. And more countries join the nuclear group. China has built twenty-two nuclear power stations, too.
