What can we use instead of fuel?
6 alternatives to petrol
- Biodiesel. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel which can be made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease.
- Electricity. Electric cars have been around a while but so far have struggled to enter the mass market.
- Ethanol.
- Hydrogen.
- Natural Gas.
- Propane.
Can a car run without fuel?
Cars require fuel. Without fuel, a car can coast downhill for miles. On a level road, a car can coast a block or two if it was doing 50mph before it ran out of gas. Some cars can be modified to run on non- standard fuels, like alcohol, hydrogen, even wood gas.
Does AC use gas?
Yes — like many of your car’s features, the air conditioning system uses gas. The air conditioner draws energy from the alternator, which is powered by the engine. However, in some situations, using the AC can be more efficient than not using it.
Is it possible to build wind turbines without fossil fuels?
Not loose change. In conclusion we obviously cannot build wind turbines on a large scale without fossil fuels. Now, none of this is to argue against wind turbines, it is simply arguing against over-promising what can be achieved.
Can we get 100\% renewable energy without fossil fuels?
If the machines that will deliver 100\% renewable energy cannot be made without fossil fuels, then quite obviously we cannot get 100\% renewable energy. What is it made of? Lots of steel, concrete and advanced plastic. Material requirements of a modern wind turbine have been reviewed by the United States Geological Survey.
Can we make steel and concrete without fossil fuels?
You state that we cannot make steel and concrete without fossil fuels, but you show that the production of these materials cannot be accomplished without intrinsic carbon dioxide emissions due to the chemical reactions necessary to produce the material.
Can We Run the planet solely on wind and solar energy?
Mark Jacobson says he can run the planet solely on wind, water and solar energy. First stop: New York State Three times now, Mark Jacobson has gone out on the same limb.
