Alternatives to Destruction Gas prices got you down? They should. However‚ the rise in petroleum prices is the least of my worries. Our nation ’s supply of fossil fuels is running out and we ’re doing more damage to our environment than humanly reversible. Now it ’s time for the good news‚ there are alternatives and loads of them. Legislation from federal and state governments along with biofuels are constantly being introduced and researched to the betterment of the environment. These alternatives

better health and education‚ things are changing. Multiple enhancements in fueling one’s car have risen. Gas has become pricey‚ and the controversial argument that oil will one day perish are factors that have led people to find other alternatives. Biodiesel is an efficient alternative fuel‚ for the reason that biodiesel is a safe‚ eco-friendly‚ and affordable option. Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel. It is renewable and generated from a variety of vegetable oils and animal fats‚ not raw

Bill Kozel Ms. Livingston English Comp 2 18 September 2012 Alternative Fuels in America On a national average the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil on a daily basis. In 2000 it was estimated that the US alone consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day‚ which is about 5% more than similar nations (Friedman 195). Oil consumption is only going to increase until it peaks‚ then it will steadily decrease as oil supply goes down. It is predicted that oil consumption will peak by the year

The history of Alternative fuels‚ or at least the concept of it‚ has been around since the early days of the automobile. Alternative fuels such as biodiesel‚ ethanol and methanol‚ have been produced and used on a small scale for decades. They are now being rediscovered due to the rising cost of oil and the instability of world politics. The discovery of these fuels changed the face of the planet‚ but since day one people have looked for other fuels that improved over the course of history. Alternative

Alternative Fuels – Data By: Denise Claire Tan Yet Nee Structure and physical properties of Molecules Nowadays‚ there are a lot of alternative fuels which have discovered by human beings in order to replace the depleting non-renewable fossil fuels supply. In fact‚ organic chemistry has successfully proved that organic compounds can be served substitution of fossil fuel supply. The structure and physical properties of organic molecules are characteristics that aid them to become useful fuels

we then go to war with the Arabs for the privilege of driving our cars? Will we strip-mine our land for coal and poison the air we breathe to drive our autos an additional 100 years? Will we raze our forests for our energy needs? I certainly hope our country will never come to those conclusions. However‚ someone must make a conclusion hopefully toward an alternate fuel source. The fuel source I would propose is biomass fuel derived from hemp. Hemp is the world’s most versatile plant. It

aviation is alternative fuel for airplane‚ which is a serious argument; however‚ big question is that efforts to produce a more sustainable fuel to power aircraft are technically and ethically feasible. This paper going to investigate and show there is no alternative fuel to power aircraft in this time. The fuel using by airplane is fossil fuel‚ which is Jet A1 by burning this fuel there are impact on the global warming the researcher investigate what is the problem with fossil fuel (Jet A1). As

FUEL CELL CARS Fuel Cell cars are a major part of the fleet of Zero-Emission Vehicles. The fuel cells are fueled with pure hydrogen and hence they are considered to be zero emission vehicles. Fuel cells have been used on spacecraft for many years to power electric equipment. These are fueled with liquid hydrogen from the spacecraft ’s rocket fuel tanks. Basic Mechanics Fuel cell vehicles turn hydrogen fuel and oxygen into electricity. The electricity then powers an electric motor‚ just like

Iwill cover how we have alturnatives in transportation and the pros and cons of each of them. Global warming is a serious problem that the world is facing. Did you know that global warming increases the average tempature of the earths surface? This is due to the burning of fossil fules like coal‚ natural gases‚ and oil. These fossil fuels are what we burn in gasoline engines
