    This is an opinion piece I published in the online version of the school newspaper to address an issue. Try to identify the basic topic, my purpose and central claim, my primary audience, and situation in the topic (authorship). Also, check out examples of me using logos, pathos, and ethos appeal. Last, what are my solution(s)?

  • "Of the energy you're putting into an electric car when you plug it in, you probably get 80% to 90% translated into useful power at the wheels," say Professor Roger Kemp, author of a Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) report on electric cars. "And that's really very good, because in a conventional car it's more like 20% to 30%, with the rest coming out as heat through the radiator and the exhaust pipe."

  • A board certified cardiologist has provided assurances that a person with a pacemaker can safely drive a hybrid.  
  • You should avoid coming within inches of the engine to avoid harmful complications
  •  Another concern of the hybrid car is the stealth nature and danger it may pose to the seeing impaired.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • One concern that has not been fully resolved is the electromagnetic field created and the possibility of certain cancers due to them.
  • Studies suggest that the risk is real; just as real as the other EMF given off from other electrical devices we use every day including computers and cell phones.
  • Electric cars are not new; they have been around since the 1800’s and were among the first vehicles ever built.
  •  One such fear is the harm to people with pacemakers.

Electric cars may not be so green after all, says British study | The Australian - 0 views

  • An electric car owner would have to drive at least 129,000km before producing a net saving in CO2. Many electric cars will not travel that far in their lifetime because they typically have a range of less than 145km on a single charge and are unsuitable for long trips. Even those driven 160,000km would save only about a tonne of CO2 over their lifetimes.
  • The British study, which is the first analysis of the full lifetime emissions of electric cars covering manufacturing, driving and disposal, undermines the case for tackling climate change by the rapid introduction of electric cars.
  • Britain's roads to increase from a few hundred now to 1.7 million by 2020.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • $66 million over the next year giving up to 8,600 buyers of electric cars a grant of $7700 towards the purchase price. Ministers are considering extending the scheme.
  • The study was commissioned by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, which is jointly funded by the British government and the car industry. It found that a mid-size electric car would produce 23.1 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime, compared with 24 tonnes for a similar petrol car.
  • Emissions from manufacturing electric cars are at least 50 per cent higher because batteries are made from materials such as lithium, copper and refined silicon, which require much energy to be processed.
  • CO2 from producing an electric car rises to 12.6 tonnes, compared with 5.6 tonnes for a petrol car
