twentieth century. These electric vehicles were killed off nearly 100 years ago as gas/petroleum powered internal combustion engine (ICE) cars became cheaper. The worsening problems of gas/petrol cars are illustrated: smog‚ high child asthma rates‚ CO2 emissions and global warming. [Later we also see the use of the US Military in the Middle East. The loss of life and financial cost of war are not mentioned]. The film then commences the story of the modern EV in 1987 when General Motors and the ’SunRaycer’

Preparation Outline Title: Emission Control Advances on Diesel Engines Specific Purpose Statement: To inform my audience about diesel emission technologies. Central Idea Statement: There has been three major technologies added to diesel exhaust systems since 2003 including an EGR‚ DPF‚ and SCR that have dramatically reduced NOx emissions (smog gases). Introduction I. Who knows the fundamental difference between a gas and diesel engine? A. A gas engine uses spark to ignite gasoline

ECONOMETRICS PROJECT Abstract In this project I have tried to obtain dependency of CO2 emissions on GDP‚ petroleum consumption and energy consumption. The country taken under consideration is India. I have taken the time period 1985-2005. I have used the multiple regression analysis to establish the relationship. The software used is STATA. Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. Carbon dioxide is naturally present

Zero EmissionsSolar energy generated via solar panels (also known as Photovoltaic Solar or PV solar) is one of the most sustainable ways we have of generating energy and electricity today. First and foremost solar panels produce electricity without emissions of any kind. The majority of electricity we use in the United States today is generated from burning coal. Recently there has been a lot excitement around the idea of clean coal‚ but it is important to remember that this technology only exists as
