Alternative Fuels??
Q. I have heard about people switching their auto engines over to run on vegetble oil. How can I modify my 2001 Pontiac with a V6 3400 to run on this alternative fuel?

A. It needs to be a diesel fuel to run off used oil. My father in law does that and he runs diesel.

Why aren't we trying to get airplanes to run on alternative fuels?
Q. A boeing 747, according to Boeing's website, has a maximum fuel capacity of 63705 gallons. The maximum distance it can travel is 8826 miles (7670 nautical). If you do the math that amounts to 1/7 of a mile per gallon of jet fuel! These jumbo jets travel thousands of miles per day. Why aren't more efforts being made to develop alternative fuels for planes?

A. First of all, the airliners are carrying 300 or so passengers at that fuel *economy* (1/7 mpg). You must take into account the amount of passengers it carries to calculate the fuel *efficiency*, appr. 45 passenger miles per gallon which is comparable to many cars considering they most of the time they only carry 1 or 2 occupants at a time. Secondly, Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineers are trying to make alternitive energy safe enough for airplanes. Airplane engines must be much safer. If a car's engine quits you pull over, if a plane's engine quits you must make an emergency landing.

Is it true that oil companies will buy patents to alternative fuels to make us keep paying for gas?
Q. Apparently oil companies will buy patents to alternative fuels and do nothing with them so no one can take advantage of these alternative fuels, hence forcing us to keep buying gas.

A. First of all if the patents were worth much the oil companies would buy the patents and build the product, making tons of money in the new venture. So the idea of these companies looking to destroy new ideas is very false, however they do invest heavily in new development of new energy resources of all types. Although conserving energy is not in their best interest making money is regardless if it is fossil based. So sitting on good ideas is not a good business mode for the oil companies.

A. Human activities powered by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas cause the waste product carbon dioxide (CO2) to be released into the air. By far, the largest contributors to these emissions both worldwide and in Marin County are vehicle traffic and energy use in buildings. Some of these emissions are absorbed by the oceans. The energy Footprint is the area of forest land required to absorb the remaining CO2 emissions if they are not to accumulate in the atmosphere.

Okay, here is how you should present your argument: - Inflexible government mandates increase the likelihood of market manipulation through "poor planing" or "accidents" or "acts of nature" excuses by corporations. - Market forces are more than sufficient to motivate consumers. The occurance of peak oil and resulting increase in gas prices over time will make conventional car driving obsolete. The desire for new, more cost-effective technologies for consumers will drive innovation, making a mandate meaningless. Government may help this process by funding research into new technologies. - Organizing tax structures (breaks for alt fuel purchases and higher taxes on non-alt fuels)… [cont.]

Asked by liljoe690 - Tue May 13 16:33:03 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well, someone at Argonne calculated that making ethanol is a 34% energy gain. That is, you get 1.34 BTUs of ethanol for an input of 1.0 BTUs of (possibly fossil) fuels. For biodiesel, the energy gain is more significant; 3.2 BTUs of biodiesel for 1.0 BTUs of energy input (which could easily be biodiesel). Neither of these actually include the input of solar energy required to make the plants grow. In comparison, if you only look at the external energy needed to pump and process oil compared to the output, oil gives about 4.0 BTUs for 1.0 BTUs of input energy. Although, people typically consider the oil (as pumped from the ground) as an "input", which makes the ratio 0.8 BTUs out for 1.0 BTUs in. If we applied this same reasoning to… [cont.]

I feel the same way as you although I do fear crime on MARTA I think it is as simple as beefing up security. I know our state officials say they are concerned and want to make changes but if they would sit down and actually come up with a plan I don't see what the big deal is. I do understand it is also about making MARTA more appealing for business people to feel comfortable riding. Like it or not business people do have an image to maintain. They could also provide more incentives for people who car pool. That is just my thought on the matter.

Q. I have been living in the metro Atlanta area for 11 years and I have noticed our air has been getting more and more polluted. Gas prices have been rising higher each day. $3.00/gallon. Now is the time to start using(not considering, but actually using) alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, and other fuels. We also need to start improving MARTA, our transit system. We are too big of a city not to have a state of the art transit system. We are suppose to be a world class city and yet we aren't doing things to solve problems. What is it going to take. Is it going to take running out of oil, or our long commutes(by the way Atlanta has one of the longest, perhaps the longest, commutes of any major US city) becoming so long that we… [cont.]

A. We are in the middle of a financial fiasco for one reason or another and improvements won't be occurring any time soon. Sorry. I feel the same way as you although I do fear crime on MARTA I think it is as simple as beefing up security. I know our state officials say they are concerned and want to make changes but if they would sit down and actually come up with a plan I don't see what the big deal is. I do understand it is also about making MARTA more appealing for business people to feel comfortable riding. Like it or not business people do have an image to maintain. They could also provide more incentives for people who car pool. That is just my thought on the matter.

A. "BBC News is reporting that a French company has developed a pollution-free car which runs on compressed air. India's Tata Motors has the car under production and it may be on sale in Europe and India by the end of the year. The air car, also known as the Mini-CAT or City Cat, can be refueled in minutes from an air compressor at specially equipped gas stations and can go 200 km on a 1.5 euro fill-up -- roughly 125 miles for $3. The top speed will be almost 70 mph and the cost of the vehicle as low as $7000. The car features a fibreglass body and a revolutionary electrical system and is completely computer-controlled. It is powered by the expansion of compressed air, using no combustion at all, and the exhaust is entirely clean and cool… [cont.]

A. Alternative fuels are needed because they do not pollute the atmosphere, they also allow us to produce our own fuels without having to purchase them from foreign nations

A. Ethanol is alcohol. Its made by fermentation. Hydrogen is an element so its extracted rather than made. It is highly explosive as what it really wants is to get back to being in a compound again and will recombine with oxygen with a great deal of noise and excitement. I think it is used as rocket fuel. Manure is dung, excreta, poo. I have never heard of it being used for fuel, except that some primitive peoples use it as fuel for cooking. I think you know how it is made! What a strange question.

Shouldn't the EPA provide alternative fuels at service stations?
Q. If the EPA does not want drilling off the coasts and in Alaska, then why don't they investment in alternative fuel technologies or install hydrogen pumps in fueling stations? Stop preventing and start providing a solution to the problem!

A. This isn't an EPA issue.. the EPA's job is to regulate pollution, and force (as much as possible) polluters to clean up the messes they make. They also do reports on the environmental impact of various human endeavors, for use by other entities in their decision making process. The EPA, as a branch of government, is hardly funded independently .. when you say "they", you're saying "we"... any money they have is taxpayer money, same as the Department of Defense, Department of Education, etc. And while, like most governmental agencies, they're big, they're certainly dwarfed by many other agencies. And they're not "getting in the way", they're looking out for our interests -- yours and mine, versus the exceptionally well funded interests… [cont.]
