Ecocharger + 1,436 DL July 1 So the Biden & Co. (actually it is difficult to see how anything but "& Co." is running the White House these days) attempt to use a backdoor regulation to shut down the fossil fuel auto industry looks doomed to fail. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Bidens-De-Facto-EV-Mandate-At-Risk-after-Supreme-Court-Chevron-Ruling.htm “There have been longstanding debates about whether and to what extent the (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) has the authority to regulate emissions from mobile sources,” Sherry Jackman, an environmental litigator and compliance counselor at Greenberg Glusker in Los Angeles, told Reuters. Even before the Supreme Court ruling last week, the American Petroleum Institute (API) challenged the new tailpipe emissions rules in court. API sued the EPA over the vehicle emission standards, with Senior Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Meyers saying that “EPA has exceeded its congressional authority with this regulation that will eliminate most new gas cars and traditional hybrids from the U.S. market in less than a decade.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As controls on emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides (SO2 and NOx) began to take effect in Europe and North America, emissions in East and South Asia grew strongly and dominated global emissions by the early years of the twenty-first century. The effects of air quality on human health had also returned to the top of the priorities by 2000 as new epidemiological evidence emerged. By this time, extensive networks of surface measurements and satellite remote sensing provided global measurements of both primary and secondary pollutants.

Ron Wagner + 700 July 1 (edited) https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/three-out-four-ev-charging-developers-say-they-cant-get-enough-electricity Billions of dollars have been allocated to build charging stations every fifty miles on the interstate highway system. Only eight have been built by this administration. This mandates a complete investigation into why such incompetence has been allowed. One simple solution would be to set up small natural gas plants at each charging station. The natural gas can be delivered easily and economically by trucks. Natural gas vehicles could also use the same locations. A growing problem has arisen by thieves stealing the copper from the thick wires that are used to fuel these EVs and outages for other reasons.

Obviously you know nothing about epidemiology...there are many moving parts in the causes of mortality. By the way, you forgot to include the source of this work. Who knows what these charts mean. These charts ignore morbidity data, so we have only a partial picture here, and no distinction between outdoor particulates and indoor particulates, or smoking rates. If the drastic reduction of outdoor particulates in America is causing a reduction in mortality and morbidity related to them, then why is that happening in spite of large but declining Asian emissions? You seem to be befuddled as usual. These charts answer your own question, there appears to be no relation between Asian PM25 levels and American mortality rates. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
