China is rich in various energy resources. Coal and petroleum, for instance, are two major ones.
They are essential in developing the country's industry, science and technology. China has done
a great deal in the past few decades to raise its output of coal and petroleum. Three energy
resources are being used up rapidly, With the building of four modernization, new industrial and
science projects are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. They are all big consumers of
energy resources. Besides there has been considerable waste in the utilization of these
resources. To avoid an energy crisis in the future, the government must take certain measures.
First, it should let people know the importance of saving energy. Second, efforts should be made
to develop new energy resources, such as solar energy, geothermal energy and so on. We have
reason to be optimistic in this respect.
