Homework 2-4-09

For my four essays, i would like to focus on hybrid cars and alternative fuels. Cars that are powered by things like electricity, biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen fuel cells, natural gas and propane. I would like to discuss all of these fuels and if they are viable options or not. For example, I would like to question are they affordable? Accessible? Do they work? How well?

I would also like to examine the arguments surrounding why we need alternative fuels. The effects that gasoline and diesel fueled cars are having on the environment. Exhaust from automobiles is a huge factor in contributing to carbon dioxide emissions and global warming concerns.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel and is not renewable. Will we run out?
I would also like to discuss America's dependence and foreign oil, and if it is dangerous. Also how a move away from oil would effect the world.

  1. You have a lot going on here. You may want to narrow even further to any one of the several aspects above.

    Good thinking though. Try to really challenge or complicate the issue.
