Read the passage and decide which statements are True (T) or False (F).
In Western countries, electricity, gas, and water are not luxuries but necessities. Companies now realize that consumers want products that will not only work effectively, but also save money.
For most North American households, lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt light bulb with an energy-saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times longer. Therefore, consumers can save about US$7 to US$21 per bulb. In Europe, there is a labeling scheme for refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers. The label tells the consumers how much energy efficiency each model has, compared with other appliances in the same category. Ultimately, these innovations will save smoney as well as conserve the Earth's resources.

1. In Western countries, energy is cheap.

Read the passage below and an answer the question .we can develop alternative sources of energy,and unless we'll never succeed.instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. If we didn't waste so much energy,our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by conservativation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy wind power tidal power hydroelectric plants.... Our fossil fuels will run out and we'll all freeze starve to dealth . Many countries are spending much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun the waves and the winds last forever.we really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner safer scour of energy . 1 can electricity be produced from any sources of energy?2 what would happen if we didn't waste so much energy?3 why are many countries spending much more time and money doing research on energy from the sun the waves and the wind?4 what will happen unless we start working on cleanr and safer sources of energy
