MODEL ANSWER>>>

At a point when there is an increasing demand of fossil fuels, there are people who think the exploitation of unexplored sources of these should be initiated. I think the idea is more advantageous for the human well-being as a whole.

Considering the positive aspects of this, one should consider the high demand and popularity of this conventional source of energy. To be clearer, the backbone of many global economies would become fragile and would eventually degenerate if the supply of these fuels is cut down. For example, it directly affects the production units like factories and logistic services which supply food and other essential items to the public. Therefore, it is necessary to find practical ways to ensure this energy supply without any major hindrance.

Another point that one should take to account is that no other living being in this earth is benefitted if these fuel sources remain unexplored. Hence, it is always better to explore such fuel sources, unearth it, and store in safe places for the future use. Unforeseen transformations of these fuels and disturbances in the area where they are located, for example by means of earthquakes, have to be seen as other risk factors if these sources are left unexcavated.

By contrast, one should admit that demand of these types of fuels would rise further if the supply is consistent. This would result in the increased rigging of these fuels, and ultimately exhaustion of these fuels would occur.

After having discussing both advantages and disadvantages of further expansion of exploiting the sources of oil and gas, unless over-exploitation happens, it seems to be more advantageous till the best alternative is found.
