Making Dirty Fuel...Clean Fuel - 1 views

  •  
    This is the oil industry's answer to the traditional process of strip mining, Instead of digging for oil in fields such as this one:on the boarder of Canada. We could send pipes and steam into the ground to slurp the fuel out of the dirt.The heat and water loosen the oil, allowing it to be pumped back to the surface and then refined. People are seeing this type of operation as an environmentally friendly alternative to oil sands mining.

Fruit being used for car parts - 0 views

  •  
    Scientists, in Brazil, are trying to use fibers from fruit to make a stronger light plastic to create car parts. They are 30 percent lighter and 3 or 4 percent stronger. This could also improve the fuel economy. Fibers found for these products can be found in pineapple leaves and stems, bananas, coconut shells, agave, and cattails. The new plastics are more resistant to heat, water and spilled gasoline than conventional plastics.
