This paper explains that, to reduce America's
dependence on foreign oil, it is necessary to phase out the conventional internal combustion
engine (ICE)
gasoline engine; however, for now, gasoline must continue to be a widely used
fuel in order to keep the gasoline industry of America strong. The author points out that, as
oil prices continue to rise, hybrid automobiles (gas engine with electric motors complimenting them) seem to be the near-term solution. The paper relates that the next viable solution to the
pollution problem posed by ICE is hydrogen (H2) and fuel cell technology; a fuel cell combines H2 and oxygen to create power through the by-product of this chemical reaction without the pollution problem.
