Electric Cars

Electric cars are the big thing that America needs to start using in order to effectively stop producing large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions.  If America starts using electric cars, then the major cause of carbon dioxide pollution will be stopped.  If only 30 percent of vehicles in the U.S. were electric by 2050, will cut emissions by 7 percent and it will lessen our use of oil by 2.5 million barrels.

I think that using electric cars is a great idea to reduce emissions and to lower the use of natural gas.  This blog is related to class because using electric cars reduces pollution, which harms the environment.

  2. I really think it would be a great idea for Americans to start using electric cars. They are good for the environment since this reduces emissions and lowers the use of natural gas. Electric cars would really help us save a lot of carbon dioxide.

  3. Let me ask a question here, if we move to electric cars do we really stop burning fossil fuels and reduce our footprint? Don't we need to charge the batteries? Answering this question could be a cool post for someone...
