| 1. | A finite list of choices ; our finite fossil fuel reserves
为数有限的选择；我们有限的矿物燃料贮量 |
| 2. | If we do nothing to reduce our energy consumption now , pollution from the use of fossil fuels will increase and fossil fuel reserves will soon run out
若我们仍不采取措施，以减低能源消耗量，燃烧化石燃料所造成的污染便会更加严重，化石燃料亦很快会被耗尽。 |
| 3. | Besides projecting long - term energy trends , the administration was expected to develop systems for estimating national fuel reserves and reporting the financial status of energy producing companies
大家寄期望于能源信息局，希望它能够预测长期能源发展趋势、估算国家燃料储量以及报告能源生产企业财务状况。 |
| 4. | Yet , in spite of the fact that coal has long been a source of electricity and may remain one for many years ( coal represents about 80 percent of united states fossil - fuel reserves ) , it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants
然而，尽管煤长期以来一直是电力的原料之一并且可能会继续如此(煤占美国化石燃料储量的80 % ) ，它却不是电厂的理想燃料。 |
| 5. | With the gradual reduction of available fossil fuel reserves and the impact on the environment of fossil fuel use , renewable energy is becoming increasingly important . this is especially true in hong kong , which is highly energy dependent
由于地球上的化石燃料正逐步消耗，加上燃烧化石燃料会对环境造成不良影响，可再生能源所扮演的角色越趋重要；这对高度依赖能源的香港尤甚。 |
| 6. | With the gradual reduction of available fossil fuel reserves and the unfriendly impacts on the environment made by the burning of fossil fuels , the use of renewable energy is becoming increasingly important , especially in hong kong , which is highly energy dependent
由于地球上的化石燃料正逐步消耗，加上燃烧化石燃料会对环境造成不良影响，可再生能源所扮演的角色越趋重要；这对高度依赖能源的香港尤甚。 |
