average of $3‚000 more to purchase a new vehicle when fully implemented according to recent studies by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). However‚ this is four times less than what NADA had originally predicted. Still‚ NADA estimates that approximately 7 million people will not be able to purchase a new vehicle due to the price increase. It’s also been said that “if this rule suppresses new vehicle sales‚ achieving the nation’s greenhouse gas and energy security goals will be needlessly

in many states may be used to do many varieties of physical work. Energy may be used in natural processes or machines‚ or else to provide some service to society (such as heat‚ light‚ or motion). For example‚ an internal combustion engine converts the potential chemical energy in gasoline and oxygen into heat‚ which is then transformed into the propulsive energy (kinetic energy that moves a vehicle). A solar cell converts solar radiation into electrical energy that can then be used to light

AIR POLUTION Problem The first thing people see‚ in the morning‚ when they walk outside is the sky or the colored sun. Is this world giving us the privilege of seeing the natural colors of the sun through all the layers of pollution within the air (Dinanike 31)? Not only are beautiful sights such as this hidden behind the pollution this world causes everyday‚ but an increase in diseases‚ infections and death occurs. What causes pollution? What can we do to prevent it‚ and get rid of it? Is it fair

and 90% petrol. Though a 85% ethanol blend has started being used in Australia but is not available at all petrol stations. As a car fuel it is blended with petrol to decrease how fast petrol burns‚ extend petrol reserves and to reduce green house gas emissions. For Brazil the use of ethanol as a car fuel has been very successful as it has a very large starch industry. It is also beneficial to the country economically because the high concentration use of ethanol has replaced expensive oil imports

In the case of America’s Natural Gas Highway‚ the companies Clean Energy Fuels Corporation and Navistar International formed a strategic partnership in order to overcome the dilemma of consumers being unable to purchase cars that ran on eco-friendly fuels such as natural gas‚ electric‚ or biofuel because of a lack of fueling stations that supplied these fuels. There was a lack of these fuel stations

According to the US Department of Energy (2005)‚ the cost goal of hydrogen when benchmarked against current oil prices and future trends will be 27% - 52% cheaper than the per gallon gas cost today. The technology goal is set for the year 2015 for having a full initiative underway for commercial use. Keep in mind that the average per gallon cost will be $1.80 for consumers with hydrogen fuel. This takes into account a 43 cent tax

softening price shocks is less useful in countries with much lower gas taxes‚ such as the United States. Some economists predict that a substitution effect will spur demand for alternate energy sources‚ such as coal or liquefied natural gas. This substitution can only be temporary‚ as coal and natural gas are finite resources as well. Prior to the run-up in fuel prices‚ many motorists opted for larger‚ less fuel-efficient sport utility vehicles and full-sized pickups in the United States‚ Canada‚ and other

Crises Energy is considered to be life line of any economy and most vital instrument of socioeconomic development of a country. Energy is pivotal in running machinery in factories and industrial units‚ for lighting our cities and powering our vehicles etc. There has been an enormous increase in the demand of energy as a result of industrial development and population growth‚ in comparison to enhancement in energy production. Supply of energy is‚ therefore‚ far less than the actual demand‚
