Most air pollution came from cars. Four things cleaned up cars: electronic ignition, fuel injection, EGR and catalytic converters. Well the job is done you don’t need an entire agency to make sure we don’t go back to carburetors and points.

You’ve been bamboozled!

The only pollution that cars make is the oxidized sulfur that comes from the catalytic converters.

Electronic ignition does nothing for a well maintained engine. Fuel injection reduces cylinder wear, but has little effect on combustion on 99% of engines.

Oxides of Nitrogen and ozone are actually beneficial to the environment, and especially to human health.

Its all a people control game.

Also diesels are much cleaner. They don’t belch the black smoke that they did in the 70’s.

There was a bus stop in front of my grandmother’s house and exhaust from idling buses actually killed a couple of her trees.

Today the buses run on compressed natural gas, with a fraction of the emissions.

We have gone from putting out 200+ hydrocarbons to putting out 2 and yet the EPA keeps tightening emission screws tighter. Enough is enough!

With current systems, I am not sure the catalytic converter is even still necessary.
