Please don’t get the wrong impression! Having all those goods, and living such lives could be, let’s say “fun.” I guess it is a matter of choice! Personally, I will share the wealth in helping people who need the basics. Better yet, I would like to create a fund for providing education, choosing dedicated teachers that will educate and give shape to a healthier society, where medical doctors and politicians will be chosen for having social consciousness and an honest dedication to serve.
Examples of such earnestness are visible in the heroes found in Doctors without Borders, Emergency, and a few other organizations, who show this dedication and to whom I wish to express my gratitude. Sorely, recently the news reported that three members of

Astonishingly, in the year 2004 General Motors crushed all the models they could put their hand on and of course stopped the production of the electric car. Only a few examples survived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AU3_2IT8k8 “Killing the electric car” is the title of this video that tells the story of the enigmatic crashing that took place After watching it, you can formulate your own idea about the de-liberate action that led to the crushing of the cars, that were in brand new conditions.
Today there are several hydrogens powered cars and busses in the world. Those vehicles, thanks to their zero emission, are a step towards the environment melioration, a positive trait nullified woefully by the actuality of not being cost efficient yet.
Europe has adopted several alternative energies thanks to the support of their governments, a support that is deeply controversial in the U.S and it is demonstrated strikingly in the opposition of the former presidential can-didate Republican Mitt Romney that famously attacked Barack Obama for spending $90 billion to promote green energy. The U.S. has a huge resource of fossil energy, including shale gas and unconventional
This interpretation was similar from the stand point of CARB. They saw it as a way to solve their air quality problem and to better the state for future generations. However, Alan Lloyd of CARB, interpreted it slightly differently because of his biased opinion (became the Director of the California Fuel Cell Partnership).2 He, along with the oil companies, saw it as a loss of profits because if people started to only drive the EV1, then they would not need oil as much or as often. The EV1 was not a good thing to the oil companies and they did not want it to succeed. Oil companies even went as far as manipulating oil prices in order to deter consumers from switching to oil alternatives. Ultimately, this may be the main reason, combined with others, as to why the electric car died.
Every couple years, there have been new innovations. Nikole Tesla inventing the Tesla Coil and the remote control, among many other things even though the government alleged did not want him to bring his inventions to the world that did not stop him from creating. When Steve Jobs decided to bring Apple products and services to the world, the public did not care for him or what he was able to offer, but that did not stop him from creating one of the greatest companies known to man. Now there is Elon Musk, rocket scientist and co-founder of Paypal. From the company he co-founded, he officially began to use his earnings from Paypal to bring Tesla Motors to the world. Steve Jobs, Nikole Tesla and Elon Musk all have one thing in common; people
Honda has already produced a hydrogen fuel cell concept car they claim is “overall 64% energy efficient”. To put this into perspective in the average gasoline combustion engine “only about 20 percent of the thermal-energy content of the gasoline is converted into mechanical work”, making it 20% energy efficient [5]. This new line of cars could bring about jobs in the automotive industry and all industries that branch from it. As of right now the commercial market for hydrogen gas produced from the use of fossil fuels is at about $100 billion. A majority of this hydrogen goes into producing fertilizers and petrochemicals [1]. All it would take is an inexpensive source of green hydrogen, such as the one recently discovered, to completely change this industry.Overall hydrogen has the ability to bring about jobs and continued advancements in every market and industry touched by it. This could be just about every industry when considering how important transportation and shipping are to the economy; hydrogen would give them an inexpensive fuel for transport. Hydrogen fuel could do this all the while solving our most important problem of finding a renewable energy source.
Affordability, availability, better road systems and even some discoveries played a role to the cars decline on demand. First in 1908, the Model T, Henry Ford’s new car, dealt a blow to the electric car. In paragraph 13, the Department of Energy says, “the Model T made gasoline-powered cars widely available and affordable. By 1912, gasoline cars cost only $650… electric… sold for $1,750.” The affordability of the car caused a decrease
In the film, Who Killed The Electric Car, the storyline of how the electric car came to be and how it died off was shown. They developed this story on who is guilty of killing the electric car. There are seven prime suspects in the film but I am going to just discuss the five main ones and whether they are a good or bad citizen. They include: the oil companies, the automobile companies, U.S. consumers, scientists researching hydrogen fuel, and the citizens trying to save the electric car. I believe each of them had a role in putting an end to the electric car whether positive or negative.
Electric Vehicles produce few or none emissions, which can provide a healthy and clean environment. While driving electric vehicles does not emit any tailpipe emissions. Every year, many individuals die from air pollution caused by gasoline cars, but electric vehicles can reduce the number dramatically with their power source as a battery not emitting any carbon dioxide. Driving an electric vehicle can save lives and decrease, the number of deaths per year caused by air pollution. Manufacturing electric vehicles reduce the number of harmful gases being released into the atmosphere. When it comes to constructing a combustion engine there are abounding amounts of parts that burn to create one car, but for electric cars the battery has
Looking around, you may notice the sudden surge of sustainable engineering all around you. From new LED light bulbs, to many different kinds of robots this epidemic is sweeping the world more and more. While we are slowly shifting towards new technologies, there is one that has gained extreme popularity over the past couple of years. It is electric cars. Going a few years back to 2010 there were a few companies introducing their first models of electric cars, but almost no one was interested in buying them, and some people even hated the idea of driving one. Since then many aspects have changed and electromobility has become one of the most debated topics in car industry. So what are advantages and disadvantages and why are they so popular now?
Just about everyone wants a car but no one Wants to pay for gas well now thanks to technology we don’t have to yes thanks to the discovery of the electronic car people can travel solely on the power of electricity but most people say that Unless some new type of battery is invented these electronic Car are nothing more than a dream but these are far more than a dream and very much so a part of reality But what does the future hold for these cars
Through life journey most everybody had a car at one point in time but not too many people had an electric car. In a one on one interview with Marland Patton, who is a mechanic, give his advice on the electric car. His thoughts on the electric car was it has it benefits and loses. He goes on to say that, the maintenance cost yearly greatly exceed the amount of gas car.
The history of the electric car has not been forgtten and the murder of the electric car wich was replaced with the fossil
The world produces around 85 million barrels of oil each day. About a quarter of that percentage goes to the United States of America, which is used up mostly by means of transportations. Most people get around from place to place using a car, a car that is powered by fuel. Everywhere one goes driving, they will eventually run into a gas station but not a charging station for electric cars. Regular cars, burn off fuel that produce emissions (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) that pollute and harm the environment. Although, there are some positives about switching there are also some problems that could appear but could be fixed. Electric cars have the potential to reduce the amount of pollution in the environment, boost the national economy and help
in the morning without you, the house owner, being awoke.” (Background to our EV Project) This was a justifiable cause for people to create the electric vehicle in the first place but it does not tell why the electric car has had a resurrection.
Electric cars was invented in the mid19th century. It was an electric vehicle that held the fastest land speed record until around 1900. The high and short range of battery electric vehicles, compared to later internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use although electric vehicles have continued to be used in the form of electric trains and other types of
Electric cars are becoming very popular in today’s world and are becoming more main stream. One reason for this is the need for automobiles that have a lower or a zero carbon footprint. For the majority of the history of the automobile, the propulsion system was a gas or a diesel engine that would run off of fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is very hazardous to our world and also creates much toxic pollution. However, electric cars run off of electricity, which is a very clean and pollution free resource, depending on how the electricity was produced of course. In this paper we are going to examine the history of electric cars, look into modern electric car technology, and peer into the future of electric car technology to see if EVs might be the answer to dramatically reducing our global pollution.
For the past three decades Oil dominates the agenda of political discussion. With scares over price volatility, sizes of reserves, international imports and least of which are the environmental impacts due to carbon dioxide and other emissions. Various speculations and educated guesses place our total depletion of crude oil within the next 50 years and there is a general consensus between environmentalists that we steer toward a hydrogen transportation system given the projected work and nonexistent carbon dioxide emissions (Environmental Technologies class lecture, Santa Clara University). However many barriers stand in the way of attaining such a goal, most of which pertaining
