The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996 the famous science. fiction writer, Arthur C．Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true. said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means .creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic(灾难性的)levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
It is attempting to think that biotechnology or some other “science of the future” can solve our problems. Before we surrender to that temptation we should remember nuclear power. Only a few generations ago it seemed to promise limitless, cheap and safe energy. Today those promises lie buried in a concrete grave in a place called Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. Biotechnology is unlikely, however, to break its promises in quite the same or such a dangerous way.
41. According to the passage, the science of the future is likely to be

A．biological power sources would be put into use soon.
B．oil, gas and coal could be repeatedly used in the future.
C．dependence on non-renewable power sources would be reduced soon
