(What will it cost to purchase‚ re-fuel‚ launch‚ educate and distribute?) Benefits. No pollution: A great benefit of using Hydrogen fuel cells is that they give off no pollution‚ and in fact produce pure water as a byproduct. Even though currently engineers are concentrating on producing hydrogen from natural gas‚ it will be for a short-term. Scientists are planning to have renewable environmentally-friendly ways of producing hydrogen in the future. Efficiency: Fuel cells generate electrical power

In comparison to the forty to eighty gigatons of carbon loss‚ a small one ton of increase in soil carbon pool has the potential to enhance food security and ultimately even reduce fossil fuels emissions by 0.4 to 1.2 gigatons a year‚ in other words by five to fifteen percent of the global fossil fuel emissions. ............................................................................................................................................

As we all know carbon dioxide is a important greenhouse gas and burning of carbon-based fuels since the industrial has rapidly increased its concentration in the atmosphere‚ leading to global warming. Carbon dioxide is also a major source of ocean acidification since it dissolves water to form carbonic acid. Most carbon dioxide comes from the people because of the

However as the demand for electricity sky rockets the pollution produced from the traditional fossil fuel burning plants is reaching dangerous levels. Gas‚ coal and oil burning power plants are as of now responsible for half of America’s air pollution (tripod/online). Not to mention fossil fuels are the greatest contributors to global warming in today’s society. Burning coal produces massive amounts of carbon dioxide which slowly eats away

"About three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions that are attributed to humans come from burning fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels — nonrenewable energy sources — when we operate vehicles‚ heat our homes and even use electricity‚ according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration." There are many ways to help save the Earth. All you have to do is cut back on

In favor of greater reliance on nuclear energy‚ Mark Lynas – a climate-science author strongly brought in the reasons of: 1st‚ nuclear power avoiding climate change while fossil fuels have failed to do so and green energy capability is still being questioned; 2nd‚ opponents overstating danger even after many reactors has been safety improved; 3rd‚ the cost is acceptable comparing to other renewables energy.

November 2008 Renewable Resources Has the time come for the world to give up on what it’s relied on the most‚ fossil fuels? “Oil fuels the modern world. No other substance can equal the enormous impact which the use of oil has had on so many people‚ so rapidly‚ in so many ways‚ and in so many places around the world” (Duplar 1). There are facts showing that fossil fuels are damaging the environment‚ people’s health‚ and even our own wallets. People say that we need to go green‚ and find
