The future of transport is as bright as the sun. Car types and styles are constantly evolving in our world today. Nothing is constant. Manufacturers are constantly breaking the mold and coming up with new ideas to move us from one place to another. From body styles to engine types, things change. But body styles aren't the only things that might change. The very way we move is changing. Traditional combustion engines are being replaced by newer, more efficient engines, and in some cases, they are even being replaced altogether. These electric cars, and how our government is pushing for them, are what I want to discuss in this research paper. Our country's government wastes money every year subsidizing alternative fuels, which are not even profitable; when they should focus on electric cars. In 2006, the Bush administration spent $160 million researching and subsidizing the hydrogen fuel cell. Scientists have found that the concept is proving to be a valid way to solve our ever-increasing energy crisis, but the availability isn't there. There is simply not enough isolated hydrogen naturally occurring in nature. Obama's Alternative Fuels Act of 2011 sent them in another direction, ethanol. Alcohol-based fuel obtained from the fermentation and distillation of starch crops, such as corn, is not a new concept. But is it profitable? And besides, is it really practical? With the ever-increasing global demand for food, using corn or sugarcane as fuel for our cars almost seems like a waste. With hunger and starvation increasing in some parts of the world, many people believe that using food as fuel is wrong. Based on new research, the new research is: ("hands-on" laboratory experience)... .. middle of paper ......newswire.ca/en/story/900039/canada-s-first -mitsubishi-i-miev-electric-vehicle-presenteWhy electric cars have no future.
