Alternative Fuels

Today’s environment is polluted with many carbon and other pollutions harmful to humans and the environment. Many of these pollutions are mostly from transportation vehicles. More dangers are rising, causing global warming and health risks to be increased at a higher probability of it occurring. With gasoline becoming scarce and an abundant amount of pollution in the environment, transportation companies need to enforce and search for better ways that America can use alternative fuels for a cleaner and safer environment when using transportation.

There are several fuels in the environment which are claimed to be safer and cleaner. They include hydrogen, biodiesel, ethanol, and natural gas. Other options for different energy sources are solar powered energy or electric powered energy. Hybrid vehicles are the most popular when it comes to modern day cars. The most popular car companies that offer these features are Honda, Toyota, and Nissan. There are other companies such as Chevrolet, Mazda, Lexus, Mercury, Ford, and Saturn who are beginning to offer this feature to their customers.

Today there are hybrid cars, they still use gasoline but just a fewer amount of it, it is a good start but there needs to be more reliable fuels to use. A hybrid car is an automobile powered by a cross of two different power sources. The hybrid cars today are gasoline-electric vehicles. Although they still use gasoline, it uses less gas than a regular gasoline powered vehicle. There are also controversies with hybrid vehicles such as it being too quiet for blind people to hear. Hybrids are made to use less gas per mileage, but a gasoline-electric hybrid still does not eliminate America’s oil dependency (Hayhurst 1). There needs to be better fuels that are safer and cleaner for the environment.

Hydrogen powered vehicles are thought to be the cleanest in fuel emissions. Hydrogen...
