Question
- Statement:
- Should India immediately stop digging coal from its mines?
- Arguments:
- I. Yes. The present stock of coal will not last long if we continue mining at the present rate.
- II. No. We do not have an alternative energy source of sufficient quantity.
- III. No. This will put millions of people at a disadvantage and their lives will get adversely affected and also the industry.
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Though the reserves of coal are limited, yet stopping its use till alternate sources of energy have been discovered, is no solution to conserve it.
So, I is not strong. It is true that we haven't till date found a renewable source of energy which is available in plenty and can substitute coal.
So, II holds strong. Further, stopping coal mining would surely throw the engaged workers out of employment.
So, III also holds strong.
