Hi I'm here to tell you about car fuels...

I'm going to list four ways to power a car.
And I will list the good and bad things about each way to power a car.
With a little joke on the end.
Also I want to thank google.ca, My family and the internet for this information.
  1. WIND POWER
  2. SOLAR POWER
    3. 3. ELECTRIC POWER
    4. HYDRO POWER

Wind power.

The good things about it are...
1. when you have enough power built up you can move really fast.
2. You aren't going to run out of wind power any time soon.


The bad things are..
1. You have no control over where you are going.
2. If there is no wind you are so stuck!
3. What would you use for wind power?


(Kids On Boat In Desert): We never go anywhere!
Mom: YOU NEVER ASK!

Solar power.

The good things.
1. It would have no emission.
2. We won't be running out of sun for a long time.

The bad things.
1. It would work better if we had sun 24/7 too bad for those poor souls on night shift!
2. Those silly clouds won't help at all!

Cloud 1: Hey you insulting us?!
Cloud 2: No it's called niceness with a kick!

Electric power.

The good things..
1. They don't have tailpipes therefore no emissions!
2.Some electric cars recycle energy from braking
a nd return it to the batteries - an excellent source of reusable energy!!!

The bad things...
1. They can't go very far.
2. batteries are heavy and don't hold a lot of energy
2. Not enough room for big family's.

Mom: My kid's don't need the space!
(Five kid's jammed in back trunk.):
Yes we do!

Hydrogen power.

The good things..
1. Hydro cars have tailpipes which only release steam and a small amount of nitrogen oxides.
2. They don't hurt the environment as much as regular cars do.

The bad things...
1. Hydrogen will be hard to store any way you use it .
2. If you had a leak it would blow up!!!!!!!

Dad: And your dad would hate for his baby girl to be blown up.
Daughter: Awe thanks for caring about me dad.
Dad: What are you talking about!!! I'm talking  about my car!

IN MY OPINION........

(Rating's 1-10)

Hydro: I beleve that i would rate it a 6.

Electric: I rate it a 2 1/2.

Wind: Rating... 1

Solar: Rating.... 2 2/3

               My Reasons....

Hydrogen: The reasons I rate hydrogen power a six is it still creates emissions, but the up-side is that it creates way less emissions than other cars. It alsoonly releases steam (water vapor) & a little nitrogen oxides.
and also it can take more people in the auto-moblie and can power bigger engines.

Electrical: The Reason I rate electrical power 2 1/2  is that there is no family room, no room for campers and also gas is still used as  a back-up.The good thing is you can plug them in and charge 'm up!!!

Wind power:  The explanation for wind power's low rating is you have no real control over where you go.
And if there is no wind that is a problem; a big one. The good things it creates no pollution, no emission And it's totally reuse-able.

Solar power: The reason solar power is rated higher then electrical power is that electrical power still wastes gas, Solar power doesn't.  It reuses energy and power that could go to waste, It is wonderful.... Good at warming houses but moving things would be a lot harder.
               

But you know there is pro's and con's to everything , two sides to a coin.  If you think about it twenty-eight years ago(1977): Gas was 50 cents per U.S. gallon which is roughly equal to 4.4 litres, They say gas is soooo much better now.  We are paying outrageus amounts ($ 1.05 per litre!) for the same thing it was twenty-eight years ago??!! That twice the amount for half the gas.
                
And also our vans and cars all over the world, Create so much pollution it's costing us our protecive ozone layer. My family's van alone can hold eighty litres of gas when full that equals 580 KM of driving so 72.5 km  per litre.  With that much I could drive to Coquitlam and back! The emission.... well is it worth it??

But the human  energy for bicycling 72.5 km there is no emission. There still is complacations like the time it would take by car 1.25 hours, By bike 4-5 hours.  Even still if you had a family take the skytrain, take the bus, TAKE AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER.    Something to cut down on pollution instead taking that van of your's to work take your little car,   Bike (you can do it!), bus it, You could even carpool!

There are so many options. So please help the living and be a friend to mother nature.

Thank you for reading my project
