Even Al Gore has said ethanol mandated use in gasoline was a
mistake. This is a small step in the right direction.
The oxygenate law that makes it required should be repealed.
Refiners had always said that they could meet the pollution
requirements without it.
I was big agrabusiness like ADM that contributed vast amounts of
money to both parties to get it passed so that they would prosper.



Reasonable or not, refineries could have met them without the
oxygenate requirement.

Laws may be unreasonable as air quality standards are revised at
whim of EPA. Something satisfactory today may not be tomorrow.

I've yet to hear of a death certificate where the cause of death was
exposure to ozone, second hand smoke, radon - you name it, but EPA
says thousands of lives would be saved by tightening standards.

Hopefully, President Romney, will gut the EPA.

Whatever you say, the air in New York City is now MUCH, MUCH better
than it was in 1976.

To answer you more directly, death certificates usually state the
direct cause of death, not the underlying (series of) causes.

Of course. I understood that 90% of auto exhaust pollution was
eliminated when first legislated. To keep clamping is not worth the
gains.

Even just considering the last few years, the cleanup of buses in terms
of diesel exhaust has been remarkable. But there are still old or
dysregulated trucks running around ... And there still is a lot of coal
burning going on that BADLY needs cleaning up.
