Do alternative fuels really work?

Yes alternative fuels work great. For example bio-diesel is
mixing diesel fuel with cooking oil. Works great when you buy the
converter kit, but is costly at the current time due to low
manufacturing. If you do not get cooking oil free from say a
McDonalds or someplace like that it goes bout $8.00 per gallon.
Check back in a few years and this might be cheaper than gas the
way prices are going now.

Asked in Fossil Fuels
Why is alternative fuel better?
Alternative fuels can be better in that they are generally
cleaner than oil and gasoline. Most alternative fuels are
renewable, which means there can be a steady supply for a long
time. Oil is not renewable.
Development of new alternative fuels also can fuel the economy
and new jobs. Alternative fuels have the potential to replace the
oil economy, it is just a question of if the fuel can be produced
efficiently and be sold at a practical price for people.

Are there alternative fuels besides oil?
yes, there are tons of alternative fuels besides oil. i am doing
a research project right now in my English class on alternative
fuels. so far, i have found biomass fuels, biodiesel, natural gas,
alcohol, and french fry oil. hope you can search farther into what
you have learned from me....

Asked in Energy, Fossil Fuels
What is alternative fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground.
Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are
mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a
much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more
trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
Asked in Renewable Energy, Technology
Are hydrogen fuels the alternative?
Hydrogen fuels could be an alternative if we come to a point
where we can solve all the dangerous problems with hydrogen.
Hydrogen fuels would be a good alternative but at this point and
time hydrogen is way to unstable, so for now electric and ethanol
are the way to go for an alternate fuel source.
Asked in Solar Power
Why should solar energy be considered as an alternative to fossil fuels?
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is
a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the
sun lasts.

Asked in Fossil Fuels
What are advantages of fossil fuels on other fuels?
The main advantage is that the government earns a lot of taxes
on fossil fuels.
Another advantage is the energy density, because it is higher
than on alternative fuels.
