Alternative Fuels

Paper Summary:

The paper considers the greenhouse effect and global warming and discusses the development of hydrogen and electricity as alternative fuels. The paper author of the paper strongly believes that we must begin to use alternative fuels, otherwise we will continue on the downward path toward the complete destruction of the earth and its natural habitats.

From the Paper:

"Over the past ten years or so, the American government and the public have increased their awareness of the problems associated with global warming, caused by what some call the "greenhouse effect" in which carbon dioxide, the byproduct of burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, prevents the earth from cooling down as it naturally would if not for the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere. Within recent times, many scientists have concluded that this "greenhouse effect" is warming up the planet to the point where ice caps and glaciers in Antarctica and the North Pole are melting at unprecedented rates, thus making it feasible that coastlines along all major continents will be inundated by melting water sometime in the future, causing huge numbers of people to seek higher ground."
