Some people argue that raising energy prices would be an effective way to protect the environment.  In this essay, I am going to argue that such a policy is futile because it does not address the underlying causes of pollution and other measures are needed.

Advocates of increasing fuel costs may argue that in doing so governments may discourage citizens from using personal vehicles, thereby reducing fuel consumption and making the environment cleaner. Consumers, especially in developing countries, are generally price-conscious, and thus the exorbitant fuel prices may gear them towards cheaper and more eco-friendly modes of transport like walking or mass transit. However, such reasoning is flawed, because car exhausts are only one of the many causes of pollution. Factories' discharge of effluents contaminates water sources and deforestation are the main culprit behind land degradation. Adjusting energy prices would have little or no impact on these phenomena, and therefore the view that higher costs of fuel can effectively solve global environmental problems should be rejected.

Instead of intervening in the energy market, governments should adopt more viable solutions to curb environmental pollution. First of all, stricter punishments must be administered on individuals and companies who do harm to the environment. Prison sentences may be given to people participating in illegal logging, and factories must be fined for releasing excessive toxic gases into the atmosphere. These steps ought to be carried out in tandem with educating the public about the poor state of the environment. Once people are conscious of the detrimental impacts that they have on the air quality or the water sources, they would be galvanized into action and start to actively protect the environment.

In conclusion, I would contend that a scheme to raise fuel costs may not bring about the desired effect, and therefore other steps to mitigate environmental issues should be considered.
