What else can I help you with?
Is a hybrid car an efficent source of energy?
They are a car that uses gas as a source of energy.
What do you think are the barriers that are preventing the US from utilizing more renewable energy source?
Cost, reliability, portability. Sometimes renewable energy is more expensive than non-renewable. Reliable- sun does not always shine, wind does not always blow. Portable- a wind turbine cannot power a car or truck- but gasoline will.
Is a car a source of energy?
No it is a consumer of energy.
Is gasoline a nonrenewable or renewable?
It is an nonrenewable source. People burn fuel for car efficiency.
Is gasoline a renewable or nonrenewable resource?
It is an nonrenewable source. People burn fuel for car efficiency.
Is fuel cell a renewable source of energy?
No, it is not a renewable source of energy. Fuel cell is a means of storage energy, for example hydrogen can be produced from any primary energy source; renewable (as solar energy) or exhaustible (as coal or oil) and then stored as energy in the fuel cell. When energy is needed later on as electricity then we can get from the fuel cell. Fuel cells is very efficient as in intermediate energy storage system in a proposed global energy system that is completely clean energy system. In this system, hydrogen is produced (parallel with electricity) from renewable (like solar) or non-conventional (like nuclear) primary energy source. Fuel cells have typically used hydrogen and oxygen as a power source. You can get these gases by splitting water (H2O) either by electrolysis or by what we call water thermochemical decomposition. In this thermochemical decomposition method water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen in some consecutive intermediate steps where special chemicals are used as catalysts to get this decomposition possible at practical temperature ranges. As an aside: For the same amount of energy, coal produces more greenhouse gases (CO2) than gasoline. So, if your electricity is generated form coal (which is common), a fuel cell powered or electric car will probably produce more greenhouse gases than a gasoline powered car (of the same size, power, etc). Electric powered cars are considered environmentally friendly so far as the electricity is produced from a renewable or non-conventional primary energy source.

How is Gasoline a energy source?
It drives your car along, which requires energy
What is the source of energy for a solar-powered car?
The Sun !
Why get solar powered power cars?
They conserve energy and it uses a renewable green fuel source. Environmental reasons. You can not buy a solar powered car at present. It is unlikely they will ever be commercially available due to the amount of energy available from the sun verses the small area of the car. If they did, you would have a car capable of moving hundreds of feet each week. The weight to power ratio for a legal car is too heavy for available energy.
What gasoline does to a car?
It provides the original source of energy that makes the car move. Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
Do headlights consume gas as a source of energy?
No, headlights do not consume gas as a source of energy. Headlights are powered by electricity from the car's battery.
