Noted the National Republican Congressional Committee in its take on Hein's passing of the cup, «Ulster County executive Mike Hein just dropped a huge load of
coal into the
stockings of local and national Democrats this afternoon by announcing that he would not run for Congress in NY - 19.»
Fossil Fuel is a generic term that isn't quite correct Natural Gasoline is a distilled derivative of oil but almost all ofit is manufactured from cracked and recombined oil derivativeswhile natural gasoline is further refined intoPropane, butane, Proproline (a plastics feed
stock), and Natural gasand also separates out sulfur (for fertilizer and explosives) Gasoline can be made from
coal («Coaline») or from organic matter («Bio-fuel») but uses a few of oil based feed
stocks instead tomake «Sythiline» (artificial gasoline) This gasoline is actually cleaner burning then natural gas with allit's «flare offs» (butane, propane, propoline, sulfur) used in theearly 19th century because it is manufactured only with essentialHydrocarbons Diesel fuel is also becoming more and more Manufactured instead ofdistilled as demand for it rises but improvements in Hydro cleaningis allowing for diesel with no volatile chemicals like sulfur andmercury (taken out for petro - chemical feedstock to make fertilizerand thermometers) In both cases what you have is pure hydro - carbons, a carbon atomwith hydrogen atoms attached to it In the case of gasoline there is CH1, cH7, CH11 When in a combustion engine the gasoline is sprayed
into the pistonafter being mixed with air and the drive of the engine compressesthe the chamber filled with the gasoline mist until it's full downstoke then the spark plug causes the Exothermic reaction... which isthe conversion of the potential energy in the gasoline mist to heatand force, with the force side of that equation shooting the pistonupward and the top of the stroke kicking what's left of thecaramelized gasoline mist out
into the Emission control box If the Emulsion control box wasn't there to filter out the burntgasoline particles, any potential additives and volatile chemicalsthen the caramelized gunk hitting air would create CARBON MONOXIDEin the cooler then the heat of the engine difference CARBON MONOXIDE can also become a problem if the Emissions controlBox filter, air filters or muffler filters is worn or damaged.
Max, if some genie were to pop out of a magic lamp and claim full understanding of the greatest rate of change of temperature over any half - century period during the MWP, and were to tell me that if I guessed wrong as to whether that ever exceeded a rate of one degree a century I would be turned
into a lump of
coal for a future Christmas
stocking, I would have no hesitation in saying no such rate had been achieved in any such half - century period.
So if we internalize
into the price of the
coal the external costs of climate emissions, localized pollution from rail shipping, costs to other commerce from longer waits at RR crossings, probable loss of the Cherry Point Herring
stock, and degradation of quality of life from those affected by these impacts, the effect will be to raise the price.
