Blog Question

Fossil fuels vs. alternative energy. How do hybrid vehicles help our planet? Electric vehicles?

Fossil fuels are our primary energy supply and consist of coil, oil, and natural gases. Fossil fuels are also nonrenewable. Therefore, we need alternative energy, which is energy produced from sources other than fossil fuels. Hybrids help our planet because they consist of both gasoline burning engines as well as a battery-powered electric motor. The batteries are recharged while driving, through conversion of the car's kinetic energy into stored chemical potential energy.  They are also helpful because they switch from gasoline engines to electric motors. Electric vehicles reduced the amount of waste that is being produced from the burning of gas and the release of oil.
