Everyone is familiar with pollution and greenhouse gasses. They understand that our vehicles pollute, and it is not helping our environment. Our citizens’ march in the street for change and oil companies take the majority of the blame. The bottom line is everyone wants less pollution; however, the reality is that we choose because of convenience. We choose the convenience of driving our own cars, instead of taking the bus to work. Or the convenience of choosing when to depart, rather than having to leave on a certain timeline. Understanding our human nature and the way we form our decisions is key to making a path toward greener energy. I will show you the real and likely possibility of how our government will help change all our vehicles to reduce pollution, while making it convenient for our country.
My stance is that our society should look for cleaner fuels and ways to reduce our environmental impact, while also being a person that likes to have the power and convenience of a diesel engine. I also appreciate how efficient a diesel engine is, compared to a gasoline engine of similar size. Having owned one, I have seen firsthand how they are an extremely capable and long lasting engine, which …show more content…
I will counter by showing examples of vehicles that have been running for years on bio-diesel and cooking oil without any negative side effects. This is due to it not being a new idea, it has been around since “Rudolf Diesel first invented the diesel engine, and showed it at the 1900 Paris World's Fair, running on peanut oil” (West, 2004). Additionally, technology has come a long way in changing the properties and viscosity of biodiesel. This reduction in viscosity increases the ability of the engine to use it without any negative side effects (Balat, M., Balat, H., 2008). Just a little research will show the potential and many qualities biodiesel
