Today there are many science projects that are dedicated to environmental concerns. The deteriorating form of the environment has many people crying that the planet will soon be lost to pollution. The industries are mainly blamed for this but they are not the only ones.The family car is also a culprit when it comes to increasing global warming thanks to the green house gases that it emits.

So scientists have come up with a new type of car which does not use the pollution causing fossil fuels. These new hybrid cars have the option of using fossil fuels but primarily run on renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The solar cells on the car harvest the energy of the sun. This is then converted into energy that is available for the car to run on.

Solar energy is not the only renewable source of energy that scientists are playing around with. They also have tried to harvest wind energy through turbines to run engines. The trouble lies in harvesting the energy constantly and storing it to be used as and when required. The automobile by Google seems to have had some success in this.

However it is by no means the last word in the business. Perhaps a new technology will come along and improve on what they have done. Perhaps it may be a result of your own science project. So what not work on these environmental concerns and do your bit to save the world.
