in APA Style (Author (University

Abstract

The essay discusses some facts on hybrid cars vis-a-vis alternative fuels

particularly biodiesel and its advantages in relation to the global concern

on a cleaner air . Based on the gathered information , it would appear that

biodiesel technology coupled with existing diesel engines present a more

practicable solution to the issue of harmful emissions . The author is inclined to recommend that the policy makers consider the solution

br offered by the use of biodiesel , coupled by some other practical but doable practices , as it offers a long term solution and has more benefits than using the hybrid cars

The Clean Air Factor : Car or Fuel

Nowadays , mobility is a key word in the world of globalization

Computers have been shrunk into smartphones and the race is on as to who can

best address the issues on tag price , talk-time , number of applications

operating system , connectivity , aesthetics and other issues addressing

convenience and practicability of use . Essentially , the concern is to have a

gadget , short of a computer or laptop , which can be brought anywhere in the

world but can still make one connected to the office , school or home

However , the more interesting aspect of mobility which is of global

import pertains to one 's mode of transport . The impact of vehicle emission on everyone 's health is a major concern not only for governments but for all of us who are eventually affected . Fossil fuel has been found to produce harmful by-products of combustion which are major contributors to air pollution . What is alarming is that children are more susceptible to the respiratory diseases brought about by fossil fuel consumption . Governments , parents and non-governmental organizations concerned with these issues are worried for the next generation and the generations to come . Aside from the direct health hazards , the volatility of the situation of oil producing countries in the Middle East resulting in skyrocketing and unstable oil prices aggravated and emphasized the need for long term solutions and alternatives

Consequently , two major programs being adopted by car manufacturers and governments i .e , the development or promotion of hybrid cars and the use of alternative

fuels . The major objectives of these programs are to maximize fuel

efficiency in terms of miles per gallon (mpg ) and substantially reduce or

eliminate the environmentally harmful by-products of fossil fuel combustion

Essentially the production of hybrid cars is more of compliance to statutes limiting harmful vehicle emissions . In to soften the developmental costs , most governments offer tax incentives . The result is a vehicle which is more fuel efficient giving improvements reported to be ranging from 20 to 35 . However , its selling price is quite high compared to gas savers of same category so that a hybrid may sell to as much as 5 ,000 to 8 ,000 higher . To cushion the steep price manufacturers often offer longer warranties
