To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels
The strain on the diesel supply in America is too high and a stable source must be found to alleviate the strain. Bio-diesel is a suitable additive in diesel that would help reduce this strain. Bio-diesel is also much safer than conventional petrol-diesel.
Topic: Alternative Fuels for Diesel
Speaker 's Goal: To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels
General Purpose: To persuade
Specific Purpose: To persuade listeners to support alternative fuels to diesel such as bio-diesel.
Thesis Statement: The strain on the diesel supply in America is too high and a stable source must be found to alleviate the strain. Bio-diesel is a suitable additive in diesel that would help reduce this strain. Bio-diesel is also much safer than conventional petrol-diesel.
Attention-Getter: According to the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, each year 315 billion gallons of crude oil are used in the United States alone, of which 52.5 billion gallons are produced into diesel. The amount of diesel used in the United States is going up each year and is not predicted to stop anytime soon. We need to find a stable supply to help decrease the dependency on diesel. Bio-diesel is a suitable material for this task.
Ethos Builder: I have done extensive research on bio-diesel. In high school I experimented with the production and testing of bio-diesel and was rewarded with first place in chemistry at Franklin County Science Fair and was invited to attend an American Chemical Society Banquet. I have also done research on the internet and textbooks.
Format/ Structure: Problem Solution
Question Type: Fact
Proofs: Bio-diesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide by 50% and carbon dioxide by 78% when used alone. Bio-diesel is biodegradable and non-toxic. Bio-diesel is the only alternative fuel to
