(11)It’s estimated that one-third of the countries of the world are very rich, and two thirds are very poor. People in the richer countries don’t understand the great differences between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in North America is better than a child in the poorer countries. (12)A fisherman in South America may catch the fish which is made into pet food while the children in poor countries are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly. (13)Although a lot of the world’s natural resources come from these poorer countries, (14)it’s the richer countries that decide what kind of price they are ready to pay for these resources. And (15)the prices the richer countries get from their exports, however, are always rising. So they are getting richer and richer, and the poorer countries are getting poorer.

Underlying all this (1) will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years. Finding the resources to meet this demand in a (2) , sustainable way is the cornerstone (基石) of our nation’s energy security, and will be one of the major (3) of the 21st century. Alternative forms of energy—bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few—are (4) being funded and developed, and will play a growing (5) in the world’s energy supply. But experts say that even when (6) , alternative energy sources will likely meet only about 30% of the world’s energy needs by 2050. For example, even with (7) investments, such as the $93 million for wind energy. development (8) in the American Recovery and
