enormous air pollution problems. Iowa, the nation's largest producer of corn and a leading agricultural state, may have the solution to the problems caused by the enormous burden of gasoline and diesel powered engines, biofuel. Biofuels coming out of Iowa include biodiesel, a diesel fuel additive, and ethanol, a gasoline additive. Both are locally produced products that reduce domestic

Since the invention of the internal combustion engine, car makers and consumers have been filling the gas tank with just that, gasoline. Starting out with leaded gasoline then slowly switching to unleaded gas in the late 1960s until catalytic converters, a new auto part which can only run on unleaded, were made mandatory in 1975. However over the past couple decades there have been a new contender in the fuel marketplace to power consumers’ cars. Ethanol is defined in World Book Student as “a type

emissions... Let's add MTBE to the fuel- that will reduce pollution... If people would just stop driving so much, pollution wouldn't be so bad..." People have long recognized the problems with the gasoline we used now.  We have tried everything from putting regulations on emissions, to putting additives in the gasoline (only to discover later that MTBE got into the groundwater), to campaigns to get people off the road.  However, more and more cars are on the roads as the population increases, and people are

Well we all know that the energy system is very unstable because the total energy available on the earth is limited, and man has exploited all the conventional technologies to fulfill his needs. By the use of these conventional technologies, the world also has a disability, with problems such as global warming. Consumption of energy by man increased gradually as his wants also increase. The conventional energy resources mainly include fossil fuels, but research shows that this fuel source will be

racing industry is a very polluting industry are should have to take steps to be more environmentally friendly. Alcohol is produced the same way that ethanol is just without the gasoline added into the mixture. Alcohol is a product that can substan super high power levels because it burns cooler that ethanol or gasoline. It is one of that most environmentally friendly race fuels that is our on the market other that electric.

for alternative energy sources greatly increases with every passing day. One of the main forms of alternative energy being pushed is biofuels. This is due to their decreased emissions in comparison to more conventional fuels such as diesel and gasoline. I will be covering many aspects in this paper that will highlight the benefits of biofuels, how it started and where it is predicted to be in the future. What is Biofuel? Biofuels are fuel sources that come from biological mass or plant forms.

regular gasoline, which has been a hot media topic for some time now. Another positive that truly benefits everyone is the fact that it is also cheaper when compared to regular gas, much cheaper, ranging anywhere from 15 to 30 percent cheaper. To many consumers around the world this is actually a really big deal. While researching I was able to learn some pretty interesting facts about this product. According to fuelfreedom.org, Ethanol does in fact have less energy contents than gasoline, however

As previously mentioned, politicians and economists have been running through lists of hypothetical methods to help citizens adjust and survive with the increase in gasoline prices. One idea proposed in early 2008 by republican John McCain and democrat Hilary Clinton was a gas tax holiday for the summer of 2008. This tax holiday would serve as a temporary price ceiling of zero dollars on gas taxes. Sounds like a nice

Automobiles The invention of the automobile in the early 20th century has had an adverse affect on our environment. Our society has used technology in order to advance the automobile to make it better and more efficient. The automobile industry knows what sells and they take advantage of that. With this growing technology to advance automobiles also comes flaws. The biggest and most obvious flaw is pollution. Because of pollution, we find ourselves asking the question of whether this technology

For many years, the only way to fuel a car has been through gasoline. Many people believe that it the best form of operation, but recently alternatives to gas have surfaced. Today we opt to purchase hybrid, solar, and electric cars instead of gas fueled. The problem lies in the difference of efficiency of gas fueled cars versus alternative fuel options. Do we need gas fueled cars? Is it worth the extra money for an electric or hybrid car? Do gas fueled cars really affect the environment? Will getting
