The global warming problem is a thing that we need to take it to an end as soon as possible. People, in general, had always tried to find a way in which we can make global warming better. It has been getting better but not until the point we can say we have safe pollution. Is not a law that we need to save the environment right now, however, we need to take care of our world because if we don’t take care of it as the human that we are leaving on this planet no one else will. Like I say many people such as scientists and more had been trying to find ways of helping with the environment. There is a lot of technology out in the world that we might not know about that is somehow helping to save the planet.

For example, many’s companies like Nissan such as Tesla are building these new vehicles that are hybrid which means that they don’t use any kind of fuel but electricity. This is a major impact because we can see how a company like this is thinking about how they can save the planet. This could be a major impact however this can bring positive and negative impacts that would help us as a society. Every single person in this world has a question that they have always been curious to know the answer to it. For example, my personal question is an electrical car really helping the environment? Throughout the time I have been doing my research about it, and I’m still not convinced of the answer I have got so far. According to studies, it says that electrical cars are day closer of been used by every single person who drives a vehicle Am not convince about this because there are a lot of places around the world that people may not even know how an electrical vehicle would look like. Vehicles manufactory should take that into consideration when they think about building all the cars electrical. I have always wondered how those places around they are would in which don’t have electricity 24/7 how are they supposed to charge the vehicle when they run out of batteries. From personal experience being from a native Caribbean country in which the light be going off for an entire day and there is no way of having electricity while there is no light around the place. In my Opinion, electrical cars are not helping with the environment because of the material they used to build the batteries and how big the battery needs to be to run a car. The material is plastic that is none recycle. This will make it easier for the audience to understand, They May Not Use Gasoline, but They Sure Burn Through Water One way to reduce the world’s dependence on oil is to produce more cars that get power from the electrical grid rather than the gas pump. In the United States, replacing a large percentage of the roughly 235 million cars, light trucks, and sport utility vehicles with all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (which have a supplemental gasoline engine) would make a big dent in gasoline consumption, currently about 380 million gallons a day. But such a shift would have an impact on another of the world’s precious liquids water. It takes a lot of water to produce electricity, both to mine and to process coal and other fuels and to cool power plants. Production of gasoline uses water, too, but in an analysis in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, Carey W. King and Michael E. Webber of the University of Texas found that adding more plug-in vehicles would result in a significant increase in water use because of the additional electricity that would have to be generated. For every mile driven by a gas-powered vehicle that is displaced by one driven by an electric vehicle, the researchers report, about three times as much water is consumed (that is, lost to evaporation) and about 17 times as much is withdrawn (used and returned to its source). The researchers say the impact on water use does not mean a shift to electric vehicles is a bad idea. But they say the impact would be severe enough, particularly in areas like the Southwest, that it should be considered in policy discussions about the widespread use of electric vehicles.However They May Not Use Gasoline, but They Sure Burn Through Water One way to reduce the world’s dependence on oil is to produce more cars that get their power from the electrical grid rather than the gas pump.
