Seattle paper looks at how transportation can contribute to energy conservation efforts
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The Spectator reviews modes of transportation that conserve energy, including bicycling, public transit and bio-diesel.
The importance in the hybrid, fuel/electric option when purchasing a car lies in the fact that the engine exhaust does not pollute as much as a regular internal combustion engine.
For students the hybrid is a less expensive option for motorized transportation.
Bio-diesel is a fossil fuel, but is derived completely of plants and is completely reusable and renewable.
It provides similar power and efficiency as regular petrol, but costs less to use.
The drawbacks of bio diesel are tied up in the resources it would require to make it available on a large scale.
It would require more farmland and outputs than are currently possible, and a large overhaul of the market would have to take place for the resources to be profitable.
Solar energy is not yet a viable option for energy because of the lack in technology to store and efficiently utilize the sun's energy from the sun.
California and Arizona have both implemented policies that make it possible for researchers to try options for solar energy and give tax breaks to consumers who invest in the technology.
Much of the CO2 levels that are to blame for greenhouse gas problems in industrialized nations result from daily commuters.
What is most notable about the Sequel is that it only gives off steam as exhaust and is comparable in power and size to models that rely on fossil fuels.
The gas tax was recently upheld in the elections, so consumers should expect to continue to pay heftily for petrol.
Public transit is about as quick in rush hour traffic as driving, and the buses downtown run on electricity rather than gasoline, limiting the emissions they give off.
Purchasing a bicycle ranges from $20 to thousands of dollars, but it is a one-time expense.
