Lessening Over-Reliance on Fossil Fuels The over-reliance on fossil fuels denotes to be a serious challenge in the United States. In 2006‚ President Bush used the term “addiction to oil” elucidating how the country heavily relies on fossil fuel as a source of energy (Sarica & Tyner‚ 2013). The world is becoming more competitive‚ and America is increasing its demand on fossil fuel. The precarious state of the fossil fuel in the markets abroad raises concerns. Political and economic instabilities are

Diesel engines and unleaded fuel engines better known as gasoline engines are actually very similar. They are both internal combustion engines which is to convert the chemical energy in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft‚ and the up-and-down motion of the pistons‚ known as linear motion‚ creates a force to the flywheel the from the flywheel to the transmission. The working principle of diesel engines

Cleaner Renewable Resources‚ VS. Fossil Fuels By Michael Lawson Assignment: To Drill or Not to Drill Renewable energy is a debatable issue because on one hand‚ it could potentially reduce the need to Burn fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels for energy releases much of the harmful gases that exist today. Scientists estimate that about 35 percent of the greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ being released into the atmosphere are from the United States (Renewable Energy Is Beneficial

Dynamic regulatory trends‚ particularly in North America and Europe has prompted fuel marketers to use specialty fuel additives which is expected remain a key driving factor for the market over the forecast period. In addition‚ ban on MTBE in the U.S. is expected to further push the demand for fuel additives over the next six years. However‚ emergence of alternative fuel such

What is a renewable resource? Why is ethanol described as a renewable resource? * A renewable resource is a natural resource with the ability to reproduce through biological or natural processes and replenished with the passage of time. Renewable resources are part of our natural environment and form our eco-system. * Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol)‚ the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It is most often used as a motor fuel‚ mainly as a biofuel additive for

alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

diminishing fossil fuels In 1977‚ the President of the United States of America‚ Jimmy Carter‚ advocated for the use of alternative energy to the American people “because we are now running out of gas and oil‚ we must prepare quickly to strict conservation [of fossil fuels] and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources‚ like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact‚ the current situation of non-renewable fuels is worse than
