Natural Gas

I became interested in natural gas, because I will learn to alternative energy in Core class. Why we are develop alternative energy because oil is an exhaustible resource. According to Munay (2008), oil costs have been more expensive because of war. And, Dr Salameh says that if the war ended, it would prevent the rising of oil price. We should try to develop hydrogen energy because it is not exhausted resource. Moreover, hydrogen gas has many benefits. “ This option for transportation has never been more relevant, considering the air quality and low carbon emission benefits of natural gas vehicles” (Vaughan, 2008, para 13). Also, many companies try to made hydrogen vehicle because it can make a good environment. According to Walton (2008), many companies and researchers are investing in the hydrogen test project which will bring us a green environment. Also, “But like experiments with alternative fuels, the price is very high and the long-term outcome is unknown. Proponents of hydrogen technology have long had a chicken-and-egg dilemma over whether to build million-dollar fueling facilities or to wait until more vehicles are in use” (Walton, 2008, para 7). This energy made more popularization because it can be alternative energy.
In my paper, I plan to write that the scientists should develop alternative energy. First, the scientists should develop hydrogen vehicle. Next, the scientists should develop natural gas vehicle. Finally, the scientists should develop electric power.
I have found a variety of articles that Florida airport tests hydrogen engines, and who killed the natural gas car? Also, I have found useful websites that will help me talk about the alternative energy. I still need to find an article about how much develop hydrogen energy and how long we can use hydrogen energy or electric power.
