Hybrid cars



Doesn’t have more maintenance than traditional cars
different types of car to types of driving: highway
less emissions to drive an electric car compared to gas powered car
Subway-Mass Transit




convenient in large cities
runs all day
moves large numbers of people
better for the environment/less pollution from cars
Cons-delays, crowded, expensive to build, 3rd rail is a safety hazard, weather conditions can
disable the system (better than cars or planes), still uses primarily fossil fuel
Natural Gas in Homes




lower emissions than coal burning power plants or gasoline
Methane leakage during transport
Air pollutants from combustion
Destruction of habitat during production
Tidal and Wave Power


Green renewable, enormous energy potential, reliable, area efficient, offshore wave power
Cons—can harm marine life, tidal barrage can effect shorelines, changes in sedimentation,
corrosion in metal parts, limited in area
Uber

Energy—typical cars, sedans

Radioactive
Very efficient
Less expensive to run than coal power plant
Spent uranium?-lgest environmental concern 300-3,000 years nuclear waste is a negative
Little emission
Very expensive to build
