“Because of these negative effects from using gasoline to power internal combustion engines, many people want to use alternative fuels for their cars and trucks instead. Their hope is that these will pollute less, helping protect the environment.” (Flair 150)

“For these reasons, using electricity to power vehicles is a great option. The over-all environmental impact they have depends on the original source of their electricity.” (Flair 150)

“Nonrenewable energy sources are also typically found in specific parts of the world, making them more plentiful in some nations than others. By contrast, every country has access to sunshine and wind. Prioritizing renewable energy can also improve national security by reducing a country’s reliance on exports from fossil fuel–rich nations.

“The expansion in renewables is also happening at scales large and small, from giant offshore wind farms to rooftop solar panels on homes, which can sell power back to the grid. Even entire rural communities (in Alaska, Kansas, and Missouri) are relying on renewable energy for heating and lighting.” (Shinn)

Connection: Both evidence speak on the protection and security of renewable energy.

“In contrast, a governmental push that focuses on the manufacturers (fuel economy mandates) leads to a decrease in the social good (air pollution improvement) because market share for fuel-inefficient vehicles increases” (Ting 152-158)
