The Future of Alternative Fuel in the Eyes of Students

In Portland, students have committed themselves to living green and creating a healthier environment through their chosen careers. Such students, more particularly those who belong to the automotive-related courses, are putting their focus on making green cars for the future. In line with this, they have hosted an event called the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Day.

At the event, students are introduced to hybrid cars, electric cars, and cars that are primarily powered by natural gas or biodiesel. Part of the symposium is to educate students how to install the electric configurations of green cars, as well as the proper way of running natural gas stations.

The goal of the symposium is to make sure that the newer generation would be more exposed to the possibilities of using alternative fuel for cars instead of depending entirely on imported oil. The goal is to make the streets cleaner and greener in 20 years. Hydropower and windmills are not part of the past. They can still be use today to make this world a better place to live in.

The Oregon leg of the Alternative Fuels Day is actually a part of a national project where in 90 more cities in the United States will be exposed to these concepts.
