TRANSPORT OF THE 21^ST CENTURY

A farmer in Britain used chicken manure to power his car. The car worked but the smell was terrible! In many countries, there are electric cars. They work well but they are slow and cannot run for very long. The Maglev train in Japan uses magnets. The magnets push the train forward. It is very quiet, very fast and very clean. Unfortunately, it is too expensive to use a lot. The water train in Wales uses water to push a train down a hill and, at the same time, pull another train up the hill.

Electricity from Rubbish

There are over 350 power stations in the world that make electricity from rubbish. Most of them are in Europe and Japan. In London, a power station burns 400,000 tones of rubbish a year. This is heat of water that makes steam. The steam turns a generator. In New York, a power station burns over 2,250 tones a day. It makes electricity for 70,000 people. New York produces 10 million tones of rubbish a year. Most of it is never used again.

Gas from animals

In parts of India and China people use biogas for cooking. They put water and manure from animals into a large tank. This produces gas, methane. A pipe takes the gas into the house.

Acid rains – what is it?

Acid rains destroy plants, rivers, lakes and buildings. It comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide. It is mixed with water in the air and becomes sulphuric acid.

Acid rain can travel thousand of miles, so pollution in one country can become acid rain for another country. In Sweden, for example, scientists have said that 70% of the sulphur in the air comes from other countries, including Britain.
