　　gre argument 208题目：

　　The following appeared in a memorandum from the planning department of an electric power company.

　　"Several recent surveys indicate that homeowners are increasingly eager to conserve energy(1) and manufacturers are now marketing many home appliances(2), such as rrigerators and air conditioners, that are almost twice as energy-ficient as those sold a decade ago. Also, new technologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating(2) are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therore, we anticipate that the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase(3), and may decline slightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation(5) for the past 20 years have always met our needs, construction of new generating plants should not be necessary(4)."

　　提纲：

　　(1)The author provides no evidence that homeowners who are eager to conserve energy would purchase and use those energy-ficient home appliances.

　　(2)We are not informed about the price of those energy-ficient home appliances and the cost of employing the new technologies, thus could not predict if residents could afford using them, and if they are willing to pay for these technologies.

　　(3)Many factors could lead to the increase in the demand for electricity in the future.

　　(4)The author fails to rule out many possibilities which might render one or more additional generating plants necessary.

　　(5)The old plants might be less energy ficient than a new plant using new technology, or might have some negative fects on environment and economic.

　　注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
