SMOG IS DISGUSTING COUNT, READ THIS ARTICLE This is one of the reasons I have bought AENG stock. This is why AENG is going to be one of the biggest new companies in the next century. Your problem Count is that you cant see the future, your stuck in the 50s and 60s. You pretend to be a real knowlegable engineer, however honey the world is changing and you lack the vision and knowledge to help change it, you just cant get off the on ramp to the super highway of the future. I think thats what bothers you about this new engine and Technology, you have had or never will have any part of it. Smog: Cars Are the Culprit Sunday, October 18, 1998; Page C06 "EPA Orders Emission Reductions: Smog-Producing Chemicals Are Targeted in 22-State Plan" read the headline [news story, Sept. 25], and the agency is leaning heavily on utility companies. In view of certain utilities' use of high-sulphur coal in antiquated plants without chimney scrubbers, and because of higher consumer demands, these actions are necessary. But the EPA is still remiss in not recognizing the dominant role of the private automobile in producing harmful emissions. The automobile is responsible for two-thirds of the world's air pollution. And yes, the modern engine emits clear, odorless, tasteless, noiseless fumes -- the days of the belching car engine are over -- but try to run this "clean" engine in a closed garage and note how quickly you'll double over; if you linger, you'll die of asphyxiation. Now, multiply the effects of these deleterious emissions by a billion, worldwide. Should we continue to sweep all these pollutants up into the atmosphere? Catalytic converters, high-temperature ignition and exhaust-gas recirculation systems all reduce somewhat the heavy particulate of the many hydrocarbon emissions, but they present us with the vexing problem of added carbon dioxide -- once considered an innocuous emission, but now know to be a major component of atmospheric greenhouse gas. Moreover, the added components of the various nitrogen oxides -- from higher ignition temperatures -- result in acid rain and smog. With the ground-level ozone problem, the effect of all these emissions in the presence of sunlight, pressure, altitude, temperature and water-vapor emissions must be considered. The EPA should stop blaming those noisy power mowers, aerosol cans and smokestacks in its investigation of ozone. With attendant chimney scrubbers, stationary power sources are far less responsible for toxic emissions than the world's billion private autos, nearly one-fourth of which are in the United States.
