Read Clean fuels: an overview, then answer the following questions.
| OK |
1) Comman disadvantages would be lack of availablity of the fuels, not being able to afford the fuels, not being able to convert your current vehicle to accomodate the fuel, or not being able to find and purchase such a vehicle. I would use biodiesel if there were places that I knew for sure I would be able to get it.
| OK |
2) They burn cleaner than traditional fuels. They would also decrease our dependency on foreign oil and just oil period.
| OK |
3) Not really because they don't actually put what the "concentrated effort by all segments of society" are going to have to be. They can say that "we" can do this and that, but don't really give any options about how "we" are suppossed to strong arm the people in charge to force the people who know how to change the technology. And I guess it doesn't really matter if the United States actually gets its butt into gear if the rest of the world doesn't get on the same boat.
Read about alternative fuels at the AFDC. Pay close attention to the section Compare Alternative Fuel Properties, then answer the following questions:
| OK |
4) No.2 diesel 8-15// biodiesel around 25// Gas 86-95// Ethanol(E85) and Methanol(M85) 100// Liquified Petroleum Gas 104// Liquified Natural Gas and Compressed Natural Gas 120+// Hydrogen is 130+
| OK |
5) ethanol, it seems that most vehicles can use it.
| OK |
6) Diesel, bio diesel, gasoline, liquified petroleum gas, ethanal, liquified natural gas, methanol, compressed natural gas, hydrogen
| OK |
7) Hydrogen probably
| OK |
8) Well, it's a government website sooo, that could be trustworthy or not. I guess a person could do their own independent research and cross reference(sp)date from other sources. But that would probably indicate that the person had been watching too many old episodes of the X-files.
