Oil may be the foremost fuel that powers the industry but alternative fuels are increasing in popularity as it is environmentally friendly.
Basically, there are fossil fuels which include coal, natural gas and oil and alternative fuels.
Fossil fuels are the fossilized remnants of ancient animals and plants and currently power 95% of the world energy usage.
The alternatives to fossil fuels are natural gas, propane, electricity, biodiesel, ethanol, methanol, hydrogen as well as P-Series fuels and they are just not only right for our environment but for the economy too.
Alternative fuels are gaining in popularity, especially for vehicles mainly because fossil fuels resources are finite as well as putting less reliant on current energy source and they contribute to less environmental harmful emissions that cause global warming.
The fuels of the future such as biofuels are derived from plants and they are more renewable and environmental friendly than petrol chemicals.
Ethanol and biodiesel may offer a cleaner choices but they need as much energy and land to make it feasible.
Biodiesels reduce the dependent on foreign oil as it can be planted domestically but the task is to cultivate the crops to meet the demand and that might be asking too much.
It also has its skeptics as producing the crops required more energy than they can produce.
Hydrogen, in reality is a very clean fuel but the stumbling block is the cost.
Burning fossil fuels add to global warming but the by-product of hydrogen is only oxygen and water.
That do not harm our health and the environment but you need fossil fuels to harness it, unless we can utilize solar, wind and other to produce it.
Natural gas may be cleaner than gasoline but it is finite and does not produce carbon dioxide.
Wind energy is one of the oldest and the most advance of all the alternative fuels and there are ample potential to harness it.
Hydroelectric energy may be a well developed alternative fuel source but not as welcome as harnessing it can have destructive effect on local environment and habitation.
Solar energy fuel the dawn of the human race as all other energy sources materialize from it.
Nuclear energy is a good substitute but it is too unstable when fall into the wrong hands.
Irrespective of what alternative energy sources we consider, it has to be cost effective and time will tell which will materialize as the most viable.
At present we are still very reliant on fossilized fuels and the likely solution in the near future is to prudently make full use of all other alternative fuels as well as lessen our dependent on fossilized fuels.
All things considered, the best option is to conserve by lessening consumption.
