Essay / Alternative Fuel Vehicles - 1887
Alternative Fuel VehiclesThe Earth is perishing. Each living being in the ecosystem participates in the preservation of nature. Even if one of these species neglects its responsibilities, the whole system shuts down; thus, each creature is connected and cannot be separated from each other. Despite all this, humanity considers itself the king of the jungle. They are greedy, careless and ignorant. Because of humans, the oceans are becoming dirty, resorts are diminishing, and the air is becoming intoxicating. Although Earth is becoming hell, it is not too late to save it; with logical and creative solutions, Earth could survive. Perhaps one of the most promising solutions to saving the planet is to use alternative fuel cars. Even though cars powered by alternative fuels are not very common at present, statistics and new research prove that alternative fuels can be one of the crucial factors in restoring harmony to nature. “In 2011, there were more than 1 billion vehicles on the road worldwide, compared to more than 83 million vehicles using alternative fuels and advanced technologies that had been sold or converted worldwide as of December 2013” ( Sousanis). Every year, more and more people prefer to buy vehicles powered by alternative fuels in order to make an impact on the environment. An alternative fuel vehicle can be broadly defined as a vehicle that runs on an alternative fuel rather than "traditional oil." Although not all vehicles powered by alternative fuels are oil-free, the primary goal of producing vehicles powered by alternative fuels is to eliminate oil from the landscape. Oil is a toxic and carcinogenic material; It is known to cause leukemia and a decrease in the number of white blood cells in humans. In addition, it plays an important role in climate change...... middle of paper ......the road. With some improvements and support, CAVs can be the savior of the human race. This doesn't mean that other vehicles powered by alternative fuels are useless; any alternative fuel is better than fossil fuel; whereas, to make the most of our world and protect it, using and improving CAVs is our best option.
