why is emission trading?
Why is emission trading important?
Reasons for it

if i could have a few sentences on them it would be AWSOME!

Thankyou

Its an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emisons of pollutants. It is also called cap-and-trade

Check engine light is on then its off- Will it pass emissions test?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

So I failed the emissions test because the check engine light was on and based on the code it seems the O2 sensor is failing. I haven’t done anything to it yet, but the check engine light went away. Is it possible that it could pass the emissions test if I time it right?

no it won’t pass,even though the light went out ,it still stored the trouble code in the computers memory…so you’ll have to change the faulty o2 sensor and drive it till the code clears its self then take it in to get the inspection

What percentage of car exhaust is unburnt fuel?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

if you know that, this would be great as well:

% of coal power plant emissions that is unburnt fuel

It really depends upon whether the engine is burning a ‘rich’ or a ‘weak’ mixture of petrol and air. A mixture about 10% rich in fuel gives the most power, whilst the most efficient running occurs with a weak mixture. Unburnt fuel in the form of carbon monoxide occurs in either case but with a weak mixture there is very little CO; a rich mixture, on the other hand, can give rise to as much as 3% unburnt CO.

In Maryland, can you get car emissions waiver if you have an MVA-issued disabled hang tag but regular plates?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

These are non-handicap license plates on both vehicles, but an MVA-issued handicap hang tag that can be used in either car.

No. Read the rules, they are quite specific:

Disabled Citizen Waiver

Disabled citizens, with the metal disabled registration plates and whose vehicle is driven less than 5,000 miles per year, can request a waiver for the remainder of the two year test cycle. Please note: all vehicle owners must meet the requirements for the disabled registration plates to qualify. On the back of the registration notice sent to you, please indicate all owners are disabled, write the vehicle’s current mileage and send it back to the VEIP Program.

"With the metal plates" and "Driven less than 5,000 miles per year."

what is the percentage of the responsibility of car gas emission on the greenhouse effect?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

i really need to know… i couldnt find it .

About 10% worldwide of the *human-caused* portion of the greenhouse effect. That’s an important distinction.

If you want the percentage of the entire greenhouse effect, humans are responsible for about 3%, so 10% of 3% is 0.3%.

Global warming since 1880, cooling since 1998, CO2 emissions going up, how does CO2 and GW n cooling correlate?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

If CO2 emissions keep going up and we’re causing global warming, shouldn’t temperatures from 1998 on keep rising?

The climate of Earth is based on a 40,000 year cycle that the Sun undergoes. NOTHING MORE!

I went in for an emissions test and my 96 mercury marquee failed on too high of a NOx level.Can someone please?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

tell me what this could be caused from? My check engine light came on too.

The reason you go to these places is so they can tell you how well it runs and what is wrong if you have a problem. Many times it can be as simple as a bad gas cap to a bad catalytic converter. I don’t know where you took it but they should have told you what was wrong from the test.

I am sexually active and still have occasional nocturnal emissions. Is this normal?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

I am sexually active and still have occasional nocturnal emissions. Is this normal? Usually I’ve heard that you are only supposed to have them if you are not sexually active but I have sex regularly. I had sex Sunday night and I had a nocturnal emission Monday night.

As long as it’s a full ejaculation, then I’d say you’re ok. If you just have some dripping, then it might be an STD. Probably a good idea to have it checked out.

Are hybrid cars more enviromentally conscious than gas or diesel cars?

Posted on October 30th, 2009 by admin

I know that the mileage is better but I’ve heard with the manufacturing of the battery it doesn’t turn out to be any better. I haven’t been able to find any concrete statistics or anything though, does anybody know of any websites, or have some information?

Thanks so much!

The battery manufacturing issues are a myth. The nickel for the batteries comes from the Inco plant in Sudbury, Canada, which had environmental problems long before the Prius even existed, and the plant now has a much smaller environmental impact.

Studies have also shown than 80-90% of a car’s lifetime energy use comes during operation (while it’s being driven), so basically the more fuel efficient a car is, the lower its environmental impact. The construction of the car is a very small factor (5-10% of lifetime energy use). So yes, hybrids are more environmentally conscious because they have a smaller environmental impact than gas or diesel cars.

Will clearing the Check Engine Light at a mechanic help me pass emission test?

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by admin

I drive a 97 vw jetta gls and I failed the emission test due to the check engine light code that dealt with the torque converter. I dont have the money for it at the moment and my plates are about to expire. The car passed everything else but the only reason it failed was because the light was on. So will clearing the Check Engine Light like at an Autozone help me pass?

Thats not why it failed, take it to another mechanic
