------------------------------------------------- Are There Any Realistic Alternatives To Oil? While energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ it can be transformed between types. The main sources of energy on Earth are the fossil fuels‚ including coal‚ natural gas‚ and oil‚ and all of these are nonrenewable resources. Each of these were produced over a period of millions of years under the surface of the Earth‚ and it is not possible to renew these supplies. The main uses for the energy obtained

Bag 12‚ 25000 Kuantan‚ Pahang‚ Malaysia Abstract: Problem statement: The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a gaseous form of natural gas‚ it have been recognized as one of the promising alternative fuel due to its substantial benefits compared to gasoline and diesel. Natural gas is produced from gas wells or tied in with crude oil production. Approach: Natural gas is promising alternative fuel to meet strict engine emission regulations in many countries. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has long been

The main focus of microeconomics is markets‚ wage markets‚ the market for gasoline‚ rent markets‚ etc. Macroeconomics is the branch of economics that studies the entire economy‚ especially topics as aggregate production‚ unemployment‚ inflation‚ and business cycles.

steam engines do at a fraction of the cost. Nowadays diesel engine manufacturers are in competition with gasoline engine manufacturers. Diesels are making comeback to the industry because they are quieter‚ lighter‚ more efficient‚ less polluting and more powerful than ever. Many companies recently have been releasing cars that have ridiculously high MPG’s and more power than their gasoline counterparts. The people in the United States like the idea of a fuel efficient car‚ but get turned off when

Free trade and social dumping: lessons from the regulation of U.S. interstate commerce. by Bruce Elmslie ‚ William Milberg As free-trade agreements spread around the globe‚ and encompass more developing countries‚ the pressure to reduce health‚ safety‚ and environmental as well as wage standards will grow more intense. The authors look to America’s own history of interstate trade to provide a guide that might help us maintain standards around the world. The recent political battles in the

The present study attempts to go beyond prior research by using a richer set of non-demographic predictors in the context of gasoline conservation. Multivariate analysis of the predictors suggests that greater understanding of conserver and non-conserver groups can be achieved with a broader set of predictor variables.

benefits of gasoline engines and electric motors to provide improved fuel energy. Let me explain it in a simple way‚ when you are driving a HEV‚ the gasoline engine provides most of the vehicle’s power‚ and the electric motor provides additional power while you are accelerating and passing which allows a smaller‚ more efficient engine to be used. One important reason for HEVs consuming less fuel is that the power for the electric motor is generated from regenerative braking and gasoline engines‚ so

sources are used for the hybrid car movement as it has two engines that are working under one hood. They are the electric motor and the gasoline engine. These two engines can help in saving the usage of gas as it can save as much as 30 miles a gallon. This is because‚ when the car is running at a constant speed or the engine is running with zero speed‚ the gasoline engine will automatically shuts off and the electricity motor is on. This helps a lot for the fuel consumption especially when you are

consumption‚ and increased water pollution are also some of the negative consequences laid out of ethanol production. Ethanol has been sold to the American people by politicians as a reliable‚ relatively clean‚ sustainable source of energy to replace gasoline. This seems to be far from the truth. Even if all of America’s corn was used for food production it would still only help to replace 6% of the total amount of oil consumed by the U.S. The grain required to fill just one 25-gallon gas tank would feed
