Exercise 9.Choose suitable forms to complete the passage below. Note that punctuation is sometimes important in choosing an answer.

In the twenty-first century, we shall see a great increase in the use of alternative energy sources, ¹especially / such as wind and water power. Several states in the USA already use wind power, ²for example/namely California, where huge “wind farms’ have been constructed ³i.e. / e.g. power stations consisting of many windmills linked together in series). Water power, too, is already an important source of electricity in countries with plentiful rivers and lakes ⁴such as/for example Norway.

Solar energy is another energy source which will be widely used in areas with plenty of sunshine ⁵such as/i.e. Egypt and the countries of North Africa. Solar energy may even make a contribution in regions with cool climates, ⁶namely/including the countries of northern Europe. France has one particularly important solar energy research facility, ⁷especially/namely the solar generator at Font Romeu, in the Pyrenees.

By contrast, the use of nuclear power may diminish. Problems with nuclear safety, ⁸ especially/such as the accident at Chernobyl, have made governments less willing to invest in nuclear power stations. However, scientists are working to produce energy safely from nuclear ‘fusion’, ⁹i.e./including a technique in which atoms are joined together. This could replace the present basis of nuclear power, ¹⁰namely/especially nuclear ‘fission’, in which atoms are split apart.
