Question

a company that is concerned about the environment wants to encourage the use of their fuel cell cars, so they are putting together information to help sell the cars. they want to be sure their material is accurate. which piece of information is true about fuel cell cars?
fuel cell cars are cheaper to buy.
fuel cell cars reduce use of non - renewable fossil fuels
fuel cell cars are more powerful than gasoline - powered vehicles.
fuel cell cars allow for the safe storage of hydrogen gas at filling stations.

Explanation:

• Option A: Fuel cell cars are generally more expensive to buy than many traditional gasoline - powered cars, so this is false.
• Option B: Fuel cell cars use hydrogen (often produced from renewable or low - carbon sources) instead of gasoline or diesel (non - renewable fossil fuels), so they do reduce the use of non - renewable fossil fuels. This is true.
• Option C: There is no general rule that fuel cell cars are more powerful than gasoline - powered vehicles. Power depends on various factors like the design of the vehicle and the engine, so this is false.
• Option D: The safe storage of hydrogen gas at filling stations is more about the infrastructure of filling stations rather than a characteristic of fuel cell cars themselves, and also, the safe storage of hydrogen at filling stations is still a developing area with challenges, so this statement is not an accurate characteristic of fuel cell cars.

Answer:

B. Fuel cell cars reduce use of non - renewable fossil fuels
