Professor Abdul Kahn SCI 110: Integrated Science October 21‚ 2011 Abstract Energy conversion has been a topic of debate and research for many years. Scientists conduct experiments in hopes of finding an alternative to relying on burning fossil fuels for electricity. While companies who believe their alternative is the best choice‚ debate over whose source is the “greenest”. Whether it be biomass‚ hydroelectricity‚ solar power‚ or wind turbines; we must find a new energy source before it is too

Over the years‚ scientists have been struggling to find an effective and affordable alternative to fossil fuels‚ not only for the environment‚ but because the natural resources are being used in excess and supply is starting running short. A. Alternative options pro’s and con’s. 1. Biodiesel can be mixed with any level of standard diesel fuel but the most common is B20 or 20% biodiesel and 80% standard diesel fuel (Hess‚ 2003). 2.

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

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

replaced by fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum. At various times throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries‚ people believed that fossil fuel reserves would be exhausted and focused their attentions on sources of renewable energy. This led to experiments with solar steam for industry and solid wood‚ methanol gas‚ or liquid biofuels for engines. Attention has refocused on renewable energy sources since the 1960s and 1970s‚ not only because of concern over fossil fuel depletion‚ but also
