Thesis
The new innovationsand advances intechnology haveenabled a newgeneration of hybridcars to both reducefuel cost and to enabledrivers to reduce theamount of greenhouse
gases produced bytheir car(environmentaldefense).

Automobile in the past
Some of the major reasonsautomobiles in the pastdecades caused so manyproblems was because of
their large engines andbulky transmissions. Some of the major pollution
from cars back then werenitrogen oxide and volatileorganic compounds. Theyare said be the cause of30% of the smog forming,and 60% of the air pollutionin the world today(enviroalternatives).

Automobiles: Before
Automobiles in the past weremostly used for power andmajor performance. Carmanufactures usually made
vehicles with only two types ofengines. Stirling engine:An engine in
which work is performed bythe expansion of a gas at hightemperature; heat for theexpansion is supplied through
the wall of the pistoncylinder(wikipedia). Steam engine: An engine
that converts the heat energyof pressurized steam intomechanical energy, especiallyone in which steam drives a
piston in a closedcylinder(wikipedia).

Safety Tips to prevent
pollution Automobiles are said to be the key to stopping
global warning (environmental defense). Due to every day use, cars are said to account for
20% of our nations global warming pollution(environmental defense). As a result of so much pollution over time deadly
disease like lung cancer, repertory problems, urbansmog, and acid rain are caused (bicycle universe) .
Some major safety tips that will help averagecitizens to prevent pollution would be to keep oilchanged, fuel injection cleaned out and changing ofall filters monthly.

Hybrid Engines
Contain internal combustion engines
Internal combustion engines are heat
engines in which the burning of fuel isin a confined place called combustionchamber (Wikipedia).
Four examples are Gas Turbine,Rocket propulsion, Rotary engine, andTurbine propulsion.

Hybrids: Cars of the
future Why are hybrid cars said to be the things of the futures? One because ,there very efficient, lower cost of gas over time
,and a major friend to our environment. Even though they can cost from $2,500 to $3,000 more than
conventional vehicles, they prevent the damage of certainunrenewable resources and raw materials like; Carbondioxide, Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxide and Hydrocarbons(Omninerd).
No theyre not the answer to all our pollution problems, but ifa lot more people invested in them we would
have a safer environment.

What I like about Hybrids
Hybrid are a lot more efficientand can cause less pollution toour environment andatmosphere.
They come with great newincentives such as; Gas andelectric combined motor,electronically controlledtransmission, CFC airconditioning, LCD energymonitor, and some may offerup to fifty miles per gallon on
the highway. As a student a hybrid vehicle
may be out of my price range,but it will somehow pay for itsself in the future.

Dislikes about Hybrids
Smaller engines
Limited cargo and seating space
Price premium on these vehicles isprohibitively high (Consumerist).
Reports notes that after five years, theaverage owner of a hybrid has not recouped
the premium on gasoline savings, and thisholds true even if you push out the time lineto ten years (Consumerist).

Regular Cars
Are not a thing of the past,but just little toys that willbe brought out on theweekends.
Hybrid cars are said to be alot more efficient andpollute less, butautomobiles from the pastare still capable for every
day use as long as we keptthe maintenances up andour emissions checked(Mobil 1).
