Umhlaba uqhubela phambili ukuya kwikamva elizinzileyo nelinganayo, kugxilwe kuphuhliso lwezithuthi zombane eziphantsi. Ezi moto zinika enye indlela enkulu kwizithuthi eziqhutywa yi-Petroli, njengoko zombini zisebenza ngakumbi kwaye zikhutshiwe kakhulu.
Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ukuphuhliswa kwezithuthi zombane eziphantsi ziye zaphakama. Oku kuyinxalenye ngenxa yemfuno eyandayo yeendlela ezifanelekileyo zokuthuthwa. Izithuthi zombane eziphantsi ziya zisanda kakhulu njengoko zihamba ngexabiso eliphantsi ukuba zibaleke ziyilondoloze kunezithuthi eziqhutywa yipetrol kwaye zivelise ukukhutshwa okuncinci.
Umxholo wezithuthi zombane eziphantsi zesantya zilula. Ezi moto zixhotyiswe ziipakethi zebhetri, ezinokuba zihlawuliswa kumthombo wamandla ongaphandle okanye ziphinde zaphinda zaphinda zaphinda zaphinda zenziwa. Oku kuthetha ukuba imoto inokuqhuba kumbane kuphela, inciphisa imfuneko yepetrol okanye idizili. Izithuthi zombane eziphantsi ziya zisanda ngenxa yokusebenza kwazo kunye neendleko eziphantsi.
Ezi moto zihlala zinqunyelwe kwisantya esiphezulu seekhilomitha ezingama-25 ngeyure, zisenza ukuba zilungele ukuqhuba isixeko. Oku kubangela ukuba bagqibelele abo bafuna indlela ye-eco engakumbi yokufikelela. Izithuthi zombane eziphantsi zombane ziya zisanda ngenxa yokuguquguquka kwabo. Njengoko bengafuni ilayisensi yokuqhuba, balungele abo bafuna indlela efanelekileyo nenexabiso eliyindleko zokujikeleza. Bakumkhulu kubo abo bafuna indlela yokunciphisa i-carbon yonyawo lwabo. Izithuthi zombane eziphantsi zombane ziya zifikeleleka ngakumbi. Njengoko itekhnoloji yebhetri iyaqhubeka iphucula, iindleko zezi moto ziyahluleka ngokhuphiswano ngezithuthi eziqhutywa yipetrol. Oku kuyenza inketho enomdla kwabo bafuna indlela ye-eco engakumbi yokufikelela. Ukunyuka kwezithuthi zombane eziphantsi zombane kukuphucula ikamva lezothutho.
Njengoko itekhnoloji yebhetri iyaqhubeka nokuphucula kwaye iindleko ziyaqhubeka ukuncipha, ezi moto ziya ziyafumaneka ngakumbi kwaye ziyasebenza. Oku kuyenza inketho enomdla kwabo bafuna indlela ezinzileyo yokufikelela. Kwixa elizayo, izithuthi zombane eziphantsi zinokuba yinto eqhelekileyo, njengoko zinika enye indlela enkulu kwizithuthi ezenziwe ngemveli.
Eli iya kuba linyathelo elikhulu lokwenza ikamva elizinzileyo ngakumbi, njengoko ezi moto zisebenza ngakumbi kwaye zivelisa ukukhutshwa okuncinci kunakwiphepha lepetrol. Kucacile ukuba izithuthi zombane eziphantsi ziyaqhubeka zithandwa, kwaye ikamva libonakala liqaqambile kwezi moto. Njengoko itekhnoloji yebhetri iyaqhubeka nokuphucula kwaye iindleko ziyaqhubeka ukuncipha, ezi moto ziya kusiwa ngakumbi kwaye ziyafikeleleka. Oku kuyenza inketho enomdla kwabo bafuna indlela ezinzileyo yokufikelela.
