Topic: Electric Cars
Opinion: In my opinion, should there be subsidies and incentives for manufacturing electric cars for the consumers.
Methods: What would be the subsidies and why?
Thesis Statement: Saving the health of individuals by the manufacturing of electric cars. Electric vehicles have positive outcomes for the environment as an alternative means of transportation and pollution free. The manufacturing of electric cars has put pressure to change how we make cars.
In the last 20 to 30 years we have seen the increases on transportation needs and how the fuel
prices have been growing to include an increase of carbon emissions. So what will be the next
role to help the environment? Can we change the mind of the oil producer counties? Are we in a
new age of Battery or Electrical cars? Would the big companies fight to keep the edge?
Can we adopt the use of the new Hybrid technology? We as a country are very outspoken on the
environment for the last 20-30 years, are we past due over the new technology? We are going in
the right direction to save our environment and we need to be on the leading edge of this
technology. By applying this new way of life we will reduce the dependant on petroleum
imports. So if in 1896, this 33-year-old engineer worked for Thomas Edison's then the
automobile was the technology of the future, but was it?, We all look at could happen but it
wasn't yet obvious. At that time that in todays age, we need to look at what could have happened
if the support of others was there.we would not be in the mess we are in with the pollution from
China to California.What if we did not start with steam, electricity, or gasoline. And start with
electricity we could be the leading country ...

...doption of electric cars. The information that I have gathered shows not only that we are going in the right direction, but the unfortunate thing about this whole event is that we are moving too slow at this present time. In all the reading I have accomplished to this subject I feel that all sources are on the same page to help not only the environment, but to give their children some type of legacy that we are all proud. Advantages and disadvantages is that we will have cleaner air, but ask your self .

In the past year, the United States’ environmental policy has become a matter of great concern among its citizens. Our president Donald Trump has given little attention to the alarming condition of our environment. Global warming is creating erratic weather patterns, companies are extracting resources at unsustainably high rates and drought stricken states such as California are struggling to provide their citizens with potable water. With such ravaging problems and an unresponsive government, it is up to the citizens to monitor and maintain our pristine Earth and its vital services.

I believe that if we don’t move toward limitless resource we will be trapped using oils and gases forever. "I'd put my money on sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait till oil and coal run out before we tackle that," by Thomas Edison. The journey to renewable resource will be a long one, but will only happen if everyone works together for the effort.
As a concerned human being for my current environment as well as the future to come, I agree with these four great tips: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and buy Recycled as being an effective formula in guiding us to keeping the environment clean and reducing global warming. This would have to start with every individual working together to take the first steps in improving our environment.
Consumption Economics –The demand for oil and gas will continue to increase and so will production with unbelievable benefits.
Prevent dangerous climate change by phasing out fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) and replacing them with clean renewable energy such as solar.
Today, people use their own personal vehicles to travel more than ever before. Personal transportation is no longer considered a luxury; it is now considered a necessity. The number of cars in the United States has been growing steadily since the 1970s. The number of miles traveled by cars has risen nearly 150 percent, yet the United States population has only grown roughly 40 percent during that time (hybridcars.com, Driving Trends). Although it may seem like we are advancing into the future, in reality, we are moving backwards from the effects these vehicles have on our bodies and the environment. The pollution produced by these vehicles has brought us to the day where we must find other modes of transportation that cause less harm to the world in which we live. Advances in technology have developed hybrid vehicles to try and slow down the amount of pollution. Driving a hybrid vehicle, instead of a conventional gas powered vehicle, can reduce the amount of pollution that affects our lives and the environment around us.
Last year, the United States government spent roughly eight billion dollars on the environment (EPA.gov). Since 1970, many acts to protect the environment have been established such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act, not to mention the countless environmental committees and councils which have been established. Such programs are evidence that the United States government has worked vigorously to help control our impact on the environment. Because of this work America does not need to implement new regulations to decrease the average American’s environmental footprint. Instead of focusing on issues that the government has already addressed, the United States needs to reroute its interest to more impending problems.
I think electric cars are important because it’s eco-friendly. It doesn’t pollute the air and does not harm any organisms so it is eco-friendly. Also, the electric car is great when trying to save money. Electric cars can have disadvantages such as, the amount of time it takes to charge the car and it weighs more. It is made for driving to places close by to one’s house, but when it is really needed it takes up time to charge. The car requires more in it than a regular car, so it weighs more. Which is a disadvantage because it might slow down driving, or if something happens to the car its more costly.
imminent future considering the hybrid car the new successor for the fuel based car and the
Electric cars were recently introduced to the auto world. They are very fuel efficient while still having all the practicalities of a regular car. They are quiet and have zero emissions. They also are cheaper to maintain and cheaper to own then a gas powered car. Even though car enthusiasts dislike the idea of going fully electric, it is a very conscientious choice. Electric cars might seem like a useless form of transportation, but they offer features that help keep the Earth clean.
Many people assume that the environment is not in danger. They believe that as technology advances, we do not need to worry about renewing natural resources, recycling, and finding new ways to produce energy. They state that one person in the world does not make a large difference. In reality, each individual's contribution greatly affects our environment. Our natural resources are slowly disappearing, and we must work together to save them and the Earth from ruin.
Industrial revolution is also a well-known paradigm shift because it introduces many new scientific and social progresses. At the same time this paradigm shift brings humans convenience, it comes with some drawbacks, too. A large amount of fossil fuels and forests have been used; this produces a lot greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide. Data from Earth Policy Institute also indicates that every ten years are approximately 0.28 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the previous ten years since 1970. From 1880 to 2012, the global temperature has raised roughly 1.53 degrees Fahrenheit. It seems that these numbers are small, but the high-carbon society has already resulted in climate and resource issues. Ice and glaciers are melting all over the world, which lead sea level to rise rapidly. Floods and droughts will become frequent and some plant or animal species will die out due to natural hazards, such as polar bears. Mosquitoes are more likely to spread diseases because of the humid weather. Weird weather also influences crop harvests. For example, the poor harvest of barley r...
There are many things we need to change in society to become sustainable for future generations. One thing is for certain, we all need to do our part to contribute to this effort, and there is no time like the present to change our ways.
...we humans created the problem with the environment, and only we can solve. We have to solve it, or nature will solve it for us.
