The world's energy watchdog has sounded the alarm over a"worrying"pause in the shift to clean energy after global investment in renewables fell 7%to$318bn（~240bn）last year.The International Energy Agency said the decline is set to continue int0 2018,threatening energy security,climate change and air pollution goals.Fossil fuels increased their share of energy supply investment for the first time since 2014,to$790bn,and will play a significant role for years on current trends,the IEA said.Investment in coal power dropped sharply but was offset by an uptick in oil and gas spending,the World Energy Investment repoit found..Dr Fatih Birol,the executive director of the IEA,said of the renewables fall:"We are seeing a decrease,which is disappointing.And more disappointing is we see the signs this decline may continue this year-this is a worrying trend."Fossil fuels'share of energy investment needs to drop t0 40%by 2030 to meet climate targets but instead rose fractionally t0 59%in 2017.World leaders'warm words on renewables and energy efficiency needed to be matched with action,Birol said,urging govemments to create less investment uncertainty for green energy.Globally,energy investment fell 2%to$1.8tn in 2017,with electricity taking a bigger share than oil and gas for the second year in a row.The decline in renewable power generation spending was mostly down to falls in wind power and hydro but solar hit record levels despite becoming cheaper to install.While coal investment fell to its lowest level in 10 years,spending on gas-fired power stations rose 40%.Nuclear power fell sharply to the lowest level of investment in five years.In the oil and gas industry,rising prices have helped investment in production rise 4%last year and is expected to grow 5%this year.The US's shale boom will drive much of the groivth,and frackers are on track to achieve positive free cashflow this year,for the first time.The US is not expected to pump enough extra crude to bring down oil prices,though.Birol said"Us shale growth is very welcome growth for badly needed additions but this growth alone will not be enough to balance out the markets.Outside the US,investment in conventional oil and gas projects remains subdued and Birol said the world faced"major difficulties"if investment was not stepped u Motorists spent S 43bn on fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids last year,accounting for half of global growth in car sales.However,the battery-powered cars are not seriously denting oil demand yet the IEA said Governments are increasing investment in energy markets,either directly through state-owned firms or indirectly via investments policies and regulation,which Birol said was a surprising developmentThe emerging worry about energy is thatA.the current short supply of the clean energy worldwideB.the failure to transition to renewable energy sources,C.the decrease of the investment to the energy exploitationD.people's consciousness of environmental protection

Text 2 While fossil fuels—coal，oil，gas—still generate roughly 85 percent of the world’s energy supply,it's clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar.The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world：They now account for more than half of new power sources going on line.Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources.But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices of renewables，especially wind and solar.The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source.In Scotland，for example，wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes.While the rest of the world takes the lead，notably China and Europe，the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift.In March，for the first time，wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US，reported the US Energy Information Administration.President Trump has underlined fossil fuels—especially coal—as the path to economic growth.In a recent speech in Iowa，he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source.But that message did not play well with many in Iowa，where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state’s electricity generation—and where tech giants like Microsoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers.The question“what happens when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine?”has provided a quick put-down for skeptics.But a boost in the storage capacity of batteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers，who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles.Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now,this massive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years.While there’s a long way to go，the trend lines for renewables are spiking.The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up—perhaps just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change.What Washington does—or doesn’t do—to promote alternative energy may mean less and less at a time of a global shift in thought.It can be learned that in Iowa,_____A.wind is a widely used energy sourceB.wind energy has replaced fossil fuelsC.tech giants are investing in clean energyD.there is a shortage of clean energy supply

Every form of energy collection will result in some pollution,but those that are green are known to cause less than those that are not. Most people who advocate greener sources of energy claim that the result of worldwide use of green energy will result in the ability to preserve the planet for a longer time.Greenhouse gases,a by-product of traditional sources of energy such as fossil fuels are thought to be causing global warming,or the process of the Earth heating up at an accelerated pace.3.It is not completely necessary for green energy sources to come from places like solar or wind fields,which are examples of green"power plants".A green energy source can be a building that is designed in a way that it keeps itself cool in the daytime and heated in the night through its architectural design rather than having an air-conditioning or a heating system. The conservation of energy through architectural（建筑学的）design becomes, itself, a green energy source. Similarly, many sources of green energy can come directly from the area in which the energy is needed rather than from an outside source.4.One of the goals of green energy technology is to take existing fossil fuel energy technology and clean it up so it is produced more cleanly. One such case is that of clean coal technology,where scientists are trying to find ways to extract energy from coal and other fossil fuels without all of the harmful side effects.The success of such these types of green energy depend upon the ability to extract harmful by-products from fossil fuels while not only being energy efficient,but by being cost efficient as well.Greenhouse gases are thought to be causing______.A:global warmingB:carbon emissionC:lower waste outputD:a green energy sourceE:fossil fuels F: clean fuels

共用题干第一篇Energy and Public LandsThe United States boasts substantial energy resources?Federal lands provide。good deal of US energy production,the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing（租赁）,both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000,32 percent of US oil,35 percent of natural ga9,and 37 percent Of coal were produced from federal lands,representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases.Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil,gas,and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State government,In 1999,for example,$553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury,and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues, of which 50 percent were paid to State governments,Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery.Each year,federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines,rail systems,pipelines,and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production,though the amount is still significant. For example , federal geothermal (地热）resources produce about 7. 5 billion kilowatt-hours（千瓦时）of electricity per year , 47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy.There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone,producing electricity for about 300 ,000 people.
