Since the gasoline supply is getting lower people have been
coming up with alternatives. Some of these
alternatives include Ethanol, Biodiesel, Natural Gas, Propane, and
Hydrogen. There are many advantages of
switching to a new source to run our cars, but there are also a lot of
disadvantages in switching. If we find a
fuel which could be mass produced to be used by the American people a lot of
people would lose their jobs. With this
new fuel they would need to create new gas stations or for electric cars, new
outlets or charging stations. With the
creation of these new pumps there would be new jobs but the people who work at
gas stations would continue to lose customers because they want to go green or
are fed up with the rising gas prices.
The positives in changing are very beneficial to people. If we could find a new fuel or power source
we can create new jobs, reduce our emissions, reduce our dependence on imported
oil, and make a lot of money which would help our economy. Most of these new fuels are produced
domestically from food. Ethanol is
created from corn and Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oils and animal
fat. These new fuels emit no harmful air
pollutants, they are found on US soil, and they would help struggling farmers.
If you want to look into these fuels i have posted a link here.
What is your opinion on these new fuel sources? Would it be worth switching? When the Gasoline runs out oversees what are
we going to rely on if we don’t create a new fuel source now?
