instead increase the use of clean energy resources. One such successful example has been Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards‚ which encourage higher fuel efficiency for all vehicles. By creating higher standards for cars‚ the government forced carmakers to innovate and create cleaner cars. At a federal level‚ the EPA could do more to encourage safer extraction of unconventional fuels‚ such as fracking. Currently‚ there does not exist enough regulation on fracking‚ leading to possible serious

ADOPTION OF ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLES IN THE US INTRODUCTION U.S. consumer interest in non-fossil fuel vehicles is relatively positive. There are several issues that American faced about fossil fuel such as pollution‚ dependency on oil imports‚ concerns of how long fossil fuel supply will be worn-out and especially fluctuation of foreign-oil prices and the more expensive cost of fuel for American household. Some actions have been taken both by the policy maker such as formed an air pollution

This is a robust and highly integrated technology package which can leapfrog other biomass to biofuel technologies because it goes straight to blended fuel stock and avoids intermediate pathways. 2.

People have used more than 90% of fuels‚ such as oil‚ coal and natural gas to produce electricity. These things are non-renewable. The more we use these fuels it will decrease every day. Today fossils fuels are a risk for our planet and people should search alternative way of energy‚ which is a new way to produce electricity

More people means more demand for oil‚ gas‚ coal and other fuels mined or drilled from below the Earth’s surface that‚ when burned‚ spew enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere to trap warm air inside like a greenhouse. The scientists who are most alarmed about global warming insist that in order to fix it‚ the burning of fossil fuels must be dramatically cut back. This would not make

I agree that they have a major role in our lives and I also agree that we need them to do our daily chores but this increase may end up as very tremendous and huge worry to everyone living on the planet.

Economically‚ hydropower stations are several times more favourable compared to thermal power stations keeping in view the life cycle costs‚ recurring fuel costs‚ environmental cost and grid economy. Hydro power stations utilise water‚ as a zero cost input energy source against which there is a constant escalation in cost of fossil fuels used in thermal power station‚ thus making the operational cost of thermal power stations ever increasing. Electricity generation from the hydro is always

At the moment‚ there is an increasing worldwide demand for electrical power and transportation‚ both which depend mostly on fossil fuels‚ such as oil products. Because the population and new technology is always expanding‚ demand for energy is expected to increase year by year.
