Gas Cars? - Persuasive Essay


            
             We use them everyday in America, yet it help kill the environment every time. They cause others to inhale potentially dangerous chemicals in the air. It's breaking down the ozone layer, causing global warming to occur. Gas cars destroy the planet every time we start them. We need an alternative source of energy for our own good. The only other know portable energy we have that keeps its surroundings clean is the battery.
             There are some large disadvantages to using an electric car opposed to a gas car. The cost of batteries is much higher than gas, and you can't get very far even on a full batter (40 or more miles). But: Technology is always advancing. Discoveries are being made as you read this that could lower battery costs significantly, and increase the capacity of the battery.
             Pollution is becoming a major problem, not just in America, but worldwide. Some scientists say that the pollution we cause is killing the planet quite literally. According to a recent survey, about 90% of people would travel 300-500 miles in a car rather than a plane. This shows that people in general use cars more than nearly any other forms of transportation. This increases our priority to make cars environment-friendly.
             Transportation causes 75% of the pollution we have on earth. It's a proven scientific fact that electric cars only produce 1% of the pollution the cleanest gas car makes. It produces 98% less Hydrocarbons than gas cars. This chemical directly influences asthma. Electric cars also produce 89% less Nitrogen Dioxide, which also influences lung cancer. Electric cars produce only 1% of the Carbon Monoxide gas cars make. The greenhouse effect (also known as global warming) is directly affected by the pollutants our cars make. Scientists predict because of the pollution we create, people are getting sicker from the heat. Global warming is also thought to be the major clause for the rising temperature and melting of the glaciers, which has a devastating effect on the environment.
