| Alternative energy for vehicles has come | | | | electric is generated to add extra power |
| a long way, but unfortunately we are not | | | | to the motor when needed. |
| yet at a point where we can go without | | | | Alternative energy for vehicles has come |
| gasoline. Hybrid cars, however, are the | | | | a long way since the idea began when the |
| first step to the future. | | | | first hybrid electric vehicle came onto |
| Finding alternative energy for vehicles | | | | the market. Advances in how alternative |
| will eliminate the need to purchase oil | | | | energy works in vehicles has been used |
| from other countries. The less we need | | | | to produce a fuel cell vehicle. Fuel |
| to depend on other countries for our | | | | Cell Vehicles are expected to be very |
| transportation needs the better. It is | | | | popular and widely seen on our roads in |
| also a good way to be earth friendly | | | | the future. |
| because vehicles that use this | | | | New developments with fuel cell vehicles |
| technology will not emit pollutants into | | | | that are powered by pure hydrogen will |
| our atmosphere like gasoline powered | | | | change the way we look at alternative |
| vehicles do. | | | | energy for vehicles. These vehicles |
| Our dependencies on other countries and | | | | will be powered by a certain form of |
| the oil that they have along with the | | | | hydropower. This means that they will |
| air pollution problem will fuel the | | | | produce no harmful air pollutants into |
| search to find a alternative energy for | | | | our atmosphere like gasoline powered |
| vehicles that is user friendly. Most | | | | vehicles do. Instead, the waste from the |
| vehicles that utilize some of the | | | | production of electricity will be water. |
| alternative energies available today | | | | This, of course, represents a more than |
| have their downfalls along with their | | | | slight improvement over the carbon |

| Electric vehicles use batteries that | | | | As new information is discovered about |
| need to be recharged about every 150 | | | | how pollutants have an affect on our |
| miles. This can be time consuming as | | | | atmosphere and the world around us, more |
| most batteries require four to eight | | | | people will consider owning a |
| hours of charging before you can hit the | | | | alternative energy vehicle. With the |
| road again. Hybrid vehicles use the | | | | possibility of oil prices soaring in the |
| same method as the electric vehicles but | | | | near future, an alternative will be |
| they don't need to be plugged in to | | | | welcomed by most people who have the |
| recharge. They recharge themselves by | | | | resources to purchase one of these |
| using regenerative braking and still | | | | alternative energy vehicles. We are not |
| have the power of a gasoline engine. | | | | yet at a point where we can have a true |
| The electricity used in a hybrid vehicle | | | | alternative energy vehicle, but it is |
| allows a smaller more efficient gasoline | | | | only a matter of improving the |
