Believe it or not, there are ways to run a car on energy sources that are not diesel or petroleum. As fossil fuel emissions have become the object of concern in the past few decades due to due climate change, people have been eager to find energy sources that are more sustainable than basic petroleum. They have recently discovered that it is possible to power a car on vegetable oil, which is a much more sustainable energy source than petroleum. Burning vegetable oil is known to be less toxic, and it “produces up to 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions and particulates” (Choosesq.com). While vegetable oil is not a perfect solution to climate change, it makes you wonder what other renewable energy sources are possible. This is why we need to invest more money into innovation and invention, so that the brightest minds in the world can figure out ways to save the planet.

I had no idea that vegetable oil could be used opposed to petroleum which is really interesting. I wonder if anyone has ever tried using vegetable oil outside of experiments and research.
I wonder if it will become more universal to use vegetable oil in the place of diesel as this information becomes more widespread. If more people knew that this could take the place of petroleum, it could benefit the planet in so many ways.
Before reading this, I had no idea that vegetable oil could be used in place of petroleum! It really makes me wonder why we haven’t switched to more sustainable options for fuel like this already!
Thank you so much for your informed opinion on this issue. petroleum is certainly not the most sustainable option out there. amongst all other alternatives, vegetable oil seems like the most fascinating one
