Gasoline driven power plants in Belvia utilize one consumable unit of gasoline to generate three consumable units of electricity. As Belvia’s GDP grows, more and more people opt for air conditioners in their houses. Clearly Belvia will need to either build new power plants or start importing electricity from neighbouring countries in the next few years because adding air conditioners can easily double the power consumption of a household. Moreover, Belvia’s power plants are already running at peak capacity.

In which of the following statements must be author believe while making his claim in the above argument?

A. The usage of evaporative room coolers, which use less electricity than air conditioners, is not expected to decline as more people purchase air conditioners for their houses.
B. Increase in price of electricity is not likely to reduce the amount of money people spend on purchasing new air conditioners.
C. The amount of gasoline required to produce one unit of electricity will not come down in the near future.
D. The new air conditioners being installed in homes today are not more efficient than the air conditioners installed previously.
E. The investments that Belvia had been doing in alternate sources of energy such as solar and hydrogen driven power plants will not start providing significant amount of electricity in the near future.
