"The more people try to use less electlicity, the more possibility of solving global warming we have."
Is this sentence correct?
I mean "If there are more people who try to use less electricity, it is more likely that we wil solve global warming ."
Would you show me some better sentences to express this using the construction "the+comparative degree S V, the+comparative degree S V "?
Thank you in advance!

Your sentence is understandable but awkward.
You can say...
a) 'The more people try to use less electricity, the more likey we are to solve global warming.'
b) 'The more people try to limit the use of electrcity, the more likely we are to solve global warming.' |
