An oil refinery by-product, petroleum coke, or petcoke, is used as a fuel because of its higher energy content than coal, but it releases larger amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which can cause lung disease and acid rain.
|
|
But the use of "marketable permits," as used in acid rain legislation, or taxes based on emissions discharged, allows competitive forces – the voices of consumers – to help determine which fuels are used, leaving us less reliant on lobbying or short-sighted legislation.

Restrictions on ozone-depleting aerosols and acid rain-producing smog from power plants were predicted to be doom for their industries, but the products continued to be useful so industry quickly found technological solutions that were cheaper and more effective than expected.
|
|
The plant belches so much acid rain-producing sulfur dioxide — two million tons a year, more than is produced in all of France — that it is surrounded by a dead zone of tree trunks and mud about twice the size of Rhode Island.
|

There's good precedent: The cap-and-trade system to eliminate acid rain in the Northeast has been enormously successful over the last 25 years since it was first introduced by a Republican administration, achieving reductions much faster than projected and at lower cost.
|
|
The Obama administration had estimated that, left unchecked, gliders could generate a third of the truck fleet's soot and other pollutants that contribute to smog and acid rain, and sought to limit their annual production to 300 vehicles through the end of 2019.
|
|
And the industry — following the same well-worn path industry groups used to create doubt about the dangers of tobacco, acid rain, the ozone hole, and more — has systematically showered money on think tanks and scientists willing to express skepticism about climate change.
|

This legacy stretches from Teddy Roosevelt's conservation of hundreds of millions of acres of land, to Richard Nixon's establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, to Ronald Reagan's actions to save the ozone layer, to George H.W. Bush's policies to curb acid rain.

Any eventual Scania fine would be dwarfed by the multibillion-dollar bill still facing VW over its separate car emissions scandal, in which it installed engine software designed to cheat tests for NOx, blamed for many thousands of deaths as well as acid rain.
|
|
But it shows little sign of reducing emissions of nitrogen oxide, or NOx, a key element in creating smog and acid rain and a primary target of the subsidy program, according to a Reuters analysis of EPA data, interviews with industry officials, and regulatory disclosures.
|
|
George H. W. Bush, finally, began to take conservation in a new market-based direction, pushing through a cap-and-trade system in 1990 that enabled industry to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, which causes acid rain, far more quickly and cheaply than anyone imagined possible.

Increased use of natural gas will probably come at the expense of coal, which has been linked to "asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts" according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.
|
|
In the United States, when the environmental impact of acid rain was first recognized as a problem in the 1960s and '403s, scientists saw the effects in Northeastern forests, but traced the sulfur and nitrogen emissions to coal-fired plants in the Ohio Valley.
|
|
True, there were reports of acid rain in the Adirondacks, and the Hudson River had been heavily polluted, like Lakes Ontario and Erie, upstate, but the media didn't make a fuss over it, and social media, that vehicle for channelling outrage, did not yet exist.
|
|
"Despite the total absence of credible scientific evidence, the media is convinced and is attempting to convince us that we have global warming, an Ozone hole and acid rain and that it is all man's fault," Pendley said in a 20073 speech to the Heritage Foundation.
|
|
India has already extended a December 2017 deadline for utilities to meet emissions standards by up to six years as power producers struggle to comply with stringent rules set out by the environment ministry in 2015 to cut emissions that cause lung diseases, acid rain and smog.
|
|
The lead industry didn't want to see its business cramped by pesky regulations, so it belittled the science while vastly exaggerating the cost of protecting the public — a strategy all too familiar to anyone who has followed debates from acid rain to ozone to climate change.
|
|
The group trek past familiar pathways—rivulets of coal-lined water pouring into great pools of infestation, tree leaves dried and eaten up by the continuous cycles of acid rain that ruin the soil, bodies lying face down in the ground and covered by an unidentifiable film.
|
|
Economists had known for generations that there was a case for exploiting market forces via things like emission taxes or tradable emission permits, but these first made it into the world of political reality with the Bush-era emissions-trading scheme used to control acid rain.
|
|
But the White House cut Ruckelshaus' requests for more money for the agency, and sided with industry against his efforts for stronger enforcement of the Superfund law to clean up toxic waste dumps, tighter controls on pollution causing acid rain and other regulations business and industry opposed.
|
|
Today, federal regulatory efforts have largely alleviated acid rain in New York; the idea that every state can take care of its own environmental issues — a claim President Trump made during the campaign, in a promise to shut down the E.P.A. — ignores the mobility of pollutants.

The Hate: The Cavs are going to hatefuck the Pistons into oblivion so why should I care True, this battle of acid-rain rustbelt towns is probably going to be a lopsided bummer, but the Pistons are a frisky bunch, led by an equally frisky if pleasingly rotund coach.
|
|
As with cap-and-trade for acid rain, each participant is then free to figure out the most efficient way forward — going out when the weather is good, or the price is high, rather than wasting fuel and long hours racing to out-fish competitors in an artificially shortened season.
|

Why you'll hear about this again: Mazzaro says the Sentinel satellite's capabilities could be used for monitoring compliance with environmental agreements, including air pollution reduction commitments on NOx, acid rain and any future regulations on methane pollution, given that it is a potent greenhouse gas that is on the increase.
|
|
The study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, aims to shore up the hypothesis that the Chicxulub event's destruction of marine life — the result of sulfur-rich rocks depositing acid rain into the oceans — was just as severe as the fire and fury it brought to land.
|
|
And if we look at other environmental solutions in the past, whether it was acid rain, sulfur emissions from US coal plants, and so on—I'm not saying these are all exactly the same—but when we try to learn from other cases, you didn't convince everybody and then you move forward.

"We were especially interested in how she could acknowledge climate change in one stand, yet vote to delay implementation of the Clean Power Plan (new standards for coal-burning power plants), especially while representing a region that was devastated by acid rain from those plants in the Midwest," the paper's editorial board wrote.
|

WASHINGTON — One of the main advancements of the past half-century at coal-burning power plants has been the "scrubber," a clean-air device that played a major role in ending the acid-rain crisis of the 2.83s and that removes millions of tons a year of a pollutant blamed for respiratory disease.

Though there were likely other killers afoot in the Great Dying — like ozone-destroying halocarbons, acid rain and a heavy dose of toxic heavy metals raining from the volcanic smog — it was the chemistry-warping pulse of carbon dioxide that has attracted the most suspicion for its role in nearly ending the world.
|
|
With all of this in mind, he theorised that acid rain would disrupt metabolic activity in leaves, decrease the flow of organic compounds from the leaves to the roots, and thereby alter the behaviour of soil microbes enough to generate a signal that could warn farmers that their crops were in need of a rinse.

If this blinkered ideology had governed over the last few decades we never would have seen such leaps forward as airbags and catalytic converters, kids would still breathe toxic lead from car emissions, we would still suffer from acid rain, Denver would still be hidden within a brown cloud, and rivers would still catch fire.

ALBANY — Until recently, the acid rain of dissent that has nagged the young presidency of Donald J. Trump — the rallies and marches, the town-hall heckling, the phone lines jammed with calls from irate constituents — was aimed mostly at those in Washington, with no room to duck, even for the likes of Senator Elizabeth Warren.

While the original goal of the project was to charge this so-called battery, what happened instead was the production of antimony, with the added benefit of capturing the sulfur, which ordinarily bonds with oxygen in the air during the process used to smelt the metal today, resulting in a pollutant that's a major contributor to acid rain.

Rivers no longer catch fire, as the Cuyahoga, in Ohio, did repeatedly in the fifties and sixties; the skies over Los Angeles are no longer choked with brown smog; acid rain is no longer the threat it was to rivers, lakes, and wildlife; gasoline for cars is no longer made with lead, which damages children's brain development.
|
|
And as Camille von Kaenel reported for E&E News, they are becoming a more significant source of pollution: If their emissions are unchecked, gliders, which constitute 5 percent of all heavy-duty vehicles on the road, would generate by 2025 a third of the truck fleet's emissions of nitrogen oxides, gases that contribute to smog and acid rain.
|
|
Though European regulators are notoriously more lax in their testing and have long had an accommodating relationship with the auto industry, the salient point is that Volkswagen and other major auto producers are well aware that the nitrogen oxides exhausted by diesel engines lead to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, smog and acid rain, and cause premature deaths — in Europe as in America — and have deceived the public about controlling them.

But at least these are real places.) The early scenes allow Schwentke and VFX supervisor Stefen Fangmeier ("Wanted") to dish out some impressive effects-pieces, coating Tris and her buds with blood-colored acid rain that pours down on the apocalyptic landscape they hike across, then afterward with a Matrix-like slime meant to decontaminate them when they arrive at the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, where they learn that their beloved Windy City is actually just a giant laboratory experiment under constant observation.
