And what kind of car(s) would be needed to convert from traditional gasoline to an alternative fuel?

i am doing a project can any one describe to me in 50 word or more what is alternative fuel.

Since gasoline prices are going to crush the American economy, what would the best alternative fuel source? Hydrogen’s pretty cheap, you’d just get like 5 miles to the gallon. Ethanol would be a NO. That’d just lead to massive corn famines and government regulation on how much gas we could use (or else), which would be communism. Nuclear power would be very effective, but there’s always evil people who would harvest the materials for bombs. I heard fuel cells were very efficient and effective. What’s your opinion?

Since we are making some new alternative fuels like ethanol, which is made from corn, and some car companies are making cars that can run on water, do you think it’s possible to take grease, something we have so much of, and turn it into an alternative fuel?

There is this lady on Yahoo Answers that is against using ethenol as an alternative fuel because she says producing a maximum yield of corn, without allowing the fields to go fallow, will ruin the soil for other crops. Corn is naturally hard on soil as it is, so constant production of corn in one place will drain all of the naturally occurring nutrients in the soil. How true is this?

Which alternative fuel is cleanest in terms of carbon emissions, including the energy spent on manufacturing the fuel and the engines that use this type of fuel?

Also, which one is most practical? I don’t know it air cars will be able to carry out our economy.

Electric/EV’s?
Ethanol?
Natural Gas (LNG or CNG)?
Biodiesel?
Methanol?
Compressed Air?

Im doing a research on alternative fuel and i need some help on the topic.What do u know about alternative fuel,its usage,how can it be used,do people use it or not?And the future of alternative fuels.

Do please help me and thanks to the people who do.

Pretend the world has run out of fossil fuels and you were the one who had to choose an alternative energy source

question #2. What is one disadvantage of each alternative fuel?

do you think that it is achievable that ALL passenger vehicles and light trucks use alternative fuel by 2040?

In order to address the threat from global warming we need significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions. A lot of people think we need to put a price on carbon emissions to accomplish this. Many also believe this will spur innovation and create ‘green jobs’. Fossil fuel technologies are already well developed, but renewable and alternative fuel technologies can continue to develop and become more advanced for a long time.

Taking everything into consideration – the climate, environment in general, economy, jobs, etc. – what do you think the best policy solution is for addressing global warming? Does it involve a carbon tax? A cap and trade system? Something else entirely?
