Answer:
windmill
Explanation: because windmill genrates electricity
Answer:
Different types of energy sources (or fuels) are used for transportation in the United States
The major types of energy used for transportation in the United States are:
Petroleum products—products made from crude oil and from natural gas processing, including gasoline, distillate fuels (mostly diesel fuel), jet fuel, residual fuel oil, and propane
Biofuels—ethanol and biomass-based diesel/distillates
Natural gas
Electricity (produced from many different energy sources)
Energy sources are used in several major ways
Gasoline is used in cars, motorcycles, light trucks, and boats. Aviation gasoline is used in many types of airplanes.
Distillate fuels are used mainly by trucks, buses, and trains and in boats and ships.
Jet fuel is used in jet airplanes and some types of helicopters.
Residual fuel oil is used in ships.
Biofuels are added to gasoline and diesel fuel.
Natural gas, as compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas, is used in cars, buses, trucks, and ships. Most of the vehicles that use natural gas are in government and private vehicle fleets.
Natural gas is also used to operate compressors to move natural gas in pipelines.
Propane (a hydrocarbon gas liquid) is used in cars, buses, and trucks. Most of the vehicles that use propane are in government and private vehicle fleets.
Electricity is used by public mass transit systems and by electric vehicles.
Petroleum is the main source of energy for transportation
In 2020, petroleum products accounted for about 90% of the total U.S. transportation sector energy use. Biofuels, such as ethanol and biomass-based diesel/distillates, contributed about 5%. Natural gas accounted for about 3%, most of which was used in natural gas pipeline compressors. Electricity provided less than 1% of total transportation sector energy use and nearly all of that in mass transit systems.
