Comments on: EPA grants California emissions waiver, clears route for tougher auto standards http://www.biofuelsdigest.com/blog2/2009/07/01/epa-grants-california-emissions-waiver-clears-route-for-tougher-auto-standards/ The world's most widely-read biofuels daily Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:30:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: SCIPIO http://www.biofuelsdigest.com/blog2/2009/07/01/epa-grants-california-emissions-waiver-clears-route-for-tougher-auto-standards/comment-page-1/#comment-2958 SCIPIO Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:32:48 +0000 http://biofuelsdigest.com/blog2/?p=12743#comment-2958 As the byproducts of "perfect" combustion of hydrocarbon vapors mixed with air, then compressed before ignition are just three resultants. From the tailpipe comes CO2 + H2O + Heat, and that's it. Alas, since "perfect" combustion (or 100% chemically efficient rapid oxidation) are almost impossible to achieve except in the real world non-scientific minds currently receiving snail-mail addressed to "Occupant" were sent with it good number of members of the California State Legislature. It is these "do as I say, not as I do" people demonstrating some serious To reduce the GHG tailpipe emissions (CO2) from any petroleum based (hydrocarbon) liquid fuel by ANY amount is Logically, Chemically and Physically, impossible. Unless of course the scientifically ignorant person who thought this concept valid, doesn't mind taxing their constituents' fuel at the same rate, even though that gallon of gasoline will necessarily contain X% less usable energy, by design. We didn't actually elect this kind of stupidity, did we? As the byproducts of “perfect” combustion of hydrocarbon vapors mixed with air, then compressed before ignition are just three resultants.
