題目：
The following appeared in a memorandum from the planning department of an electric power company.
"Several recent surveys indicate that home owners are increasingly eager to conserve energy. At the same time， manufacturers are now marketing many home appliances， such as refrigerators and air conditioners， that are almost twice as energy efficient as those sold a decade ago. Also， new technologies for better home insulation and passive solar heating are readily available to reduce the energy needed for home heating. Therefore， the total demand for electricity in our area will not increase—and may decline slightly. Since our three electric generating plants in operation for the past twenty years have always met our needs， construction of new generating plants will not be necessary."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

一些最近的調(diào)查表明，房主越來(lái)越強(qiáng)烈地希望節(jié)省能源，并且生產(chǎn)商現(xiàn)在正在推出很多比十年前的電器幾乎節(jié)能兩倍的家用電器，比如冰箱和空調(diào)，這些電器要比10前出售的節(jié)能50%.而且，更好的房屋隔熱和被動(dòng)式太陽(yáng)能采暖的新技術(shù)已經(jīng)可以用于減少家庭采暖所需的能源。因此，我們預(yù)計(jì)我們地區(qū)的用電需求總量不會(huì)增加，而可能有輕微下降。由于我們的已經(jīng)運(yùn)作了20年的三座發(fā)電站總能夠滿足需求，我們無(wú)需建造新的發(fā)電廠。
寫一篇回應(yīng)，在其中檢視文章的論證中述及和/或未明確述及的假設(shè)，務(wù)請(qǐng)解釋文章的論證是如何依賴于這些假設(shè)的，并指出如果這些假設(shè)不成立會(huì)對(duì)文章的論證帶來(lái)何種影響。
