What Challenges poses the biggest problem to the long term use of alternative fuels?
Electric engines may ultimately rely on fossil fuels for power
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
How long does it take for the earth to make fossil fuels in years at a time?
It takes millions of years for fossil fuels to be naturally formed.
Why won't fossil fuels last forever?
Fossil Fuels are created when the remains of plants and creatures are put under extreme pressure for extremely long periods of time. There Isn't an infinite amount of vegetation and creatures that lived that long ago, therefore there isn't an infinite amount of Fossil Fuels.
How long will it take for us to use up fossil fuels?
2 days

What is the challenges poses the biggest problem to the long term use of alternative fuels?

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.
What is the biggest problem in the world today?
Global warming currently poses the biggest long term threat to the global economy. This is the result of air pollution primarily from the consumption of fossil fuels. Many people view CO2 greenhouse gas emissions as innocuous, or relatively harmless, and so we continue increasing the atmospheric concentration. Lack of respect is another problem in this world.
What are the advantages of alternative fuels used in automobiles?
The primary advantage to alternative fuels such as biodiesel in automobiles is to lower harmful emissions into the atmosphere in the hopes of off-setting further damage to the ozone. Currently the biodiesel of choice, at least in the United States, is ethanol derived from corn. There are two affective faults with the current system and crop of choice, first is the amount of ethanol derived from corn is minimal compared to alternative crops such as water based algae. This has a subproblem rooted in that the amount of space necessary to grow the corn to produce sufficient amounts of ethanol is staggering. Secondly, the amount of machinery and vehicles using gasoline or standard diesel in the process of allocating the ethanol from the corn far offsets the benefits of using the ethanol to begin with. Side note - the performance of vehicles on biodiesel is similar to that of standard diesel.
How is alternative energy better than fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are not renewable. This means that once we use up all that is available in the earth, there is no more. (Well , not for another couple hundred thousands years.) Also, burning fossil fuels releases a great deal of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, and is the main cause of global warming. Alternative energy such as solar and hydroelectric does not have these problems. They are completely renewable, and very clean. Better for the environment, and in the long run, better for us.
Most Alternative Car Fuels are Used as Additives?
Ethanol, long an additive to gasoline, is by itself an alternate car fuel which burns more cleanly than fossil fuels. Most internal combustion engines, however, cannot burn pure ethanol so it is used as an additive. Biodiesel is similar, made from oils of plants such as soybeans or animal fats, then added to traditional diesel fuel. Hydrogen cells and electric batteries are other sources of alternative car fuels.
Are fossil fuels sustainable?
I will rephrase your question- Is the supply of fossil fuels sustainable? The answer is no. In the long run, we will have less and less fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are referred to as non-renewable fuels, which are taken from the earth's resources and used.
How can you use alternative energy for?
The main reason to use alternative resources for energy is because the energy being used now will not last forever. It will at some point run out if alternative resources are not found. Another reason is to save money.
Where is the starter located on a 1981 Mercedes 300d?
The starter is located passenger side, just next to and above the exhaust pipe. It is not difficult to remove with an Allen socket and a LONG extension and universal. Tom alternative fuels now @gmail.com
Can you make fossil fuels?
Yes, but it takes a long time
Why are these resources referred to as fossil fuels?
"Fossil fuels" refers to fuels, such as carbon and petroleum, that are generally believed to originate as fossils.
