Saving Fossil Fuels; Alternative Energy Most people today use fossil fuels, but there is a problem that comes with using them. Soon, the world is going to run out of fossil fuels. The average person uses some type of fossil fuel every single day, and cannot imagine a world without them. Can you imagine a world with no gas, propane, or coal? Better yet, can you imagine the world without the machines, vehicles, and appliances that are powered by fossil fuels. Fossil fuel is not the only form of energy…

ALTERNATE FUELS Gasoline dominates in today’s industry and has a significant impact on the face of the earth in terms of climate change and economy. Some of the important and practical alternatives to current option – fossil fuels-primarily gasoline and diesel, and the Issues related to them are discussed in the following text. Biodiesel Concept: Continued use of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the…

Alternative Fuels This day in age, one of the world’s main concerns is energy. Currently, we rely on petroleum to run our cars, and household central heat, and electricity in our homes. Petroleum is not only limited, but it is also dirtying up the world’s air, and depleting the ozone layer as it is burned. Alternative fuels are one of the worlds most talked about issues, and many solutions have been brought forth, yet none of them have been sophisticatedly acted upon. Through the list of pros…

today is made by fossil fuels. Acid rain, global warming, and air quality are all leading problems in today 's society all because the world won 't put time and money into alternative energy. Alternative energy can effectively dwindle the amount of fossil fuels used. Alternative energy can not replace the use of all fossil fuel but any amount of alternative energy use can be effective. Methods of theses energy alternatives can save the earth from running out of fossil fuels. Also they can decrease…

Fossil fuels which are hydrocarbons found within the top layer of the crust, are natural resources formed by the decomposition of anaerobic buried dead organisms such as dead plants and animals. They fossilize through the exposure of heat and pressure in the Earth’s crust. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources because of the millions of years they take to be formed; prime examples are coal, natural gas and oil. When coal, natural gas and oil are burnt they release gases into the atmosphere such…

Alternative Energy If America makes the change to renewable fuels, it could take hundreds of years to undo the indirect damage that will be triggered. The amount of pollution that would be emitted by harvesting new fuels is as devastating as not switching at all (Grunwald). The processes for acquiring these alternatives create pollution that will destroy our environment. It is counterproductive to use renewable energy, if it does not enhance the current situation. Many people are supportive of…

Abstract The feasibility of adding AFVs (alternative fuel vehicles) to the Lotus Rental Car fleet is examined in the attached research. The advantages and disadvantages of AFVs were analyzed. In addition, the environmental effect of AFV use on future generations is also discussed. By comparing the overall information and data of AFVs vs. petroleum-fueled vehicles, and researching how other fleets have successfully incorporated AFVs, the result is conclusive evidence that the addition of AFVs to…

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…

Fossil fuels have become something of a norm in the last few decades, with us as a race becoming more and more dependent on it as an energy sources. However, when and why did we become so dependent on them is an important question. And also when, in fact, did they start to rule our lives rather than the usual other way around? This essay seeks to unravel the causes and processes associated with this dependency, and whether or not there are any alternatives to fossil fuels which can be used in the…

Alternative Fuel Studies show that there is an increasing interest in alternative fuels for use in vehicles (cars and trucks). Most substitute energies are sourced from reusable products. Some of these alternative fuel products are produced domestically, and this reduces the United States dependence on imported fuel (Norman, 2007). The augmenting attention in substitute energies is motivated by numerous factors. To begin with, substitute energies result to reduced vehicle emissions; such emissions…
