[고1] 2025 09월 – 34번: 재생 에너지 시스템 구축에 역설적으로 화석 연료가 필요한 현실

 

Richard Heinberg, an American journalist, argues that in building the renewable energy infrastructure to stop global warming, we are actually involved in one of the greatest change projects in human history. In addition to solar panels and wind turbines, we have to build an alternative transport infrastructure, farming procedures and industrial processes. This transformation cannot happen without fossil fuels. For instance, production of concrete structures and steel elements require amounts of energy that is only possible to produce with fossil energy. Production of solar panels requires scarce and expensive minerals which must be excavated, again requiring the use of fossil fuels. Thus, the harder we push towards a renewable energy system, the faster we have to use fossil energy for the construction process. This is not only expensive, but also an undermining factor for our efforts to cut global emissions. Heinberg remarks that the cost of building this new energy infrastructure is seldom counted in transition proposals, which tend to focus just on energy supply requirements.

 

 

 

[지문 구조 분석]

구분	내용	원문
주장	리처드 하인버그는 재생에너지 인프라 구축은 인류 역사상 가장 큰 변화 프로젝트 중 하나라고 본다	Richard Heinberg, an American journalist, argues that in building the renewable energy infrastructure to stop global warming, we are actually involved in one of the greatest change projects in human history.
설명	태양광, 풍력뿐 아니라 교통, 농업, 산업 구조 전반의 대체 인프라를 세워야 한다	In addition to solar panels and wind turbines, we have to build an alternative transport infrastructure, farming procedures and industrial processes.
근거	이런 전환은 화석연료 없이는 불가능하며, 콘크리트·철강 생산과 희소 광물 채굴에 막대한 화석에너지가 필요하다	This transformation cannot happen without fossil fuels. For instance, production of concrete structures and steel elements require amounts of energy that is only possible to produce with fossil energy. Production of solar panels requires scarce and expensive minerals which must be excavated, again requiring the use of fossil fuels.
역설	재생에너지로 빠르게 전환할수록 건설 과정에 더 많은 화석에너지가 필요해 비용이 크고 탄소 감축 노력도 약화된다	Thus, the harder we push towards a renewable energy system, the faster we have to use fossil energy for the construction process. This is not only expensive, but also an undermining factor for our efforts to cut global emissions.
결론	전환 계획은 보통 에너지 공급만 강조하지만, 인프라 구축 비용은 간과되는 경우가 많다고 하인버그는 지적한다	Heinberg remarks that the cost of building this new energy infrastructure is seldom counted in transition proposals, which tend to focus just on energy supply requirements.
