From the Paper:

"It is difficult to imagine a human society without cars. The idea that for millennia humans managed to survive, and even to thrive, without such a contraption is inconceivable to many in today's Western World. Automobiles are everywhere, and in most American cities it is nearly impossible to work or go to school without access to one. However, the widespread use of cars is not without its negative effects on society. Cars can be cost prohibitive for many people, especially in the lower classes. Maintenance and fueling of automobiles are two things which can truly take their tolls on the pocketbooks of the working class. Additionally, cars are also a cause of much pollution, and quite harmful to the environment. Many solutions have been proposed over the years to help make cars both less costly to run and less harmful to the environment. One of the most talked about solutions involves alternative fuel sources instead of the very costly and environmentally unsound petroleum-based fuels which are currently in use. "Whether it is natural gas, fuel cells, hydrogen or a popular combination of gasoline and electricity, alternative fuels are being pushed as a solution to America's energy crisis." (Maier) Cars cause a lot of pollution, therefore it is necessary to find alternative fuels. However, there are still many problems with alternative fuels that must be resolved, and the government should be taking steps to help make alternative fuels a widespread reality."
