Readers, I read the Elsbett website provided by Mr. Deprez.
I sent an email to the Eslbett principals to ask for permission to send the their company weblink to my counterparts in my beloved San Joaquin Valley California area. As many of you know my beloved San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is ranked #1 or #2 most air polluted in the U.S. During my petroleum energy career I joined the Western States Petroleum Assocation (WSPA) to learn more about petroleum as it relates to many. Even the WSPA had some things to say about the San Joaquin Valley air pollution - see weblink below: http://www.wspa.org/issues/sjv_sjvaqc1.htm In my opinion public education is the #1 priority. Especially when the majority of residents are struggling to survive and achieve stability. http://geography.berkeley.edu/ProjectsResources/Publications/Parsons_SauerLect.html How can I convince the SJ Valley residents to "get out of their cars?" I cannot. So the other option is clean fuels and managing the other sources such as dust, human activity, ag activity, VOC, etc. Read what a leading expert has to say: FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- An academic expert who travels the world studying air quality issues said the San Joaquin Valley's pollution problems are "unlike other critical areas he's studied", and may need a unique solution since the current attempts to clean up are not working. Physicist Thomas Cahill, a University of California at Davis professor spoke at spoke in Fresno's Saroyan Theatre, and said he's a bit baffled by what he sees in the valley. Even as Los Angeles was able to fight back the smog and ozone pollution that plagues it, reducing levels significantly in the past 12 years, the valley has not made many significant improvements. In fact, the valley violates ozone levels more often over an eight-hour period than any other place in the nation. "Clearly, we're doing something wrong," Cahill said. "Science is not up to explaining this." Cahill said the valley's particular topography -- the long basin that goes from Stockton to Bakersfield_ traps pollutants. The professor urged the valley to step outside one-size-fits-all approaches to cleaning its air. "The Central Valley is going to have to take charge of its own destiny," he said, after explaining the dangers in air pollution, particularly fine specks of dust, soot, ash or chemicals, which research shows can raise the rate of heart problems. "The fine particles remain in the lungs, enter the bloodstream and move to the heart," Cahill said. "The more dirt you have, the more death you get." Particle pollution in the valley comes from unpaved roads, fireplaces, construction, agriculture and chemicals combining in the atmosphere. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/03/18/state1050EST0053.DTL Thanks for your time and a Prosperous New Year Phillip Wolfe --- Frantz DESPREZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.elsbett.com/engl/index.htm > > frantz > _______________________________________________ > Biofuel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel > > Biofuel at Journey to Forever: > http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html > > Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): > http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
