Cars

Use of the motor cars governs a great deal of our lives in the western world, our societies are geared towards the use of the car with our towns being built with cars in mind and towns and cities being connected by dual carriageways and motorways. Unfortunately this brings many problems, primarily the effect that emissions from motorcars has upon our environment and the consumption of fossil fuels that is required to fuel them. However, a third problem that arises is that the number of cars is simply getting to be too many for our roads to accommodate; congestion is prevalent world wide and is getting worse. However despite these issues the car remains ever popular as our society depends on it with more cars rolling of production lines and new models being developed constantly.

The issue concerning the level of pollution that is generated by cars is being addresses however, with more research being put into the development of alternate methods of fuel cars such as natural gas, bio fuels. Also, hybrid vehicles with use an electric motor in lower gears and use their petrol engine at higher speeds whilst also charging their battery , these vehicles have much low emission levels than standard vehicles and are becoming increasing popular, fueling hope that in the future even more environmentally friendly vehicles will become widely available.
