Default Gas/Elrctric

[QUOTE=bob&Gail;1590525]That smelly exhaust from gas carts. Think of the stench made by that coal fired power plant to make the electricity to charge your clean smelling electric cart. Think an answer thru before you print

OK Think an answer?/
Generating plants for electricity can be Nuclear, Coal or Natural Gas as an energy source. Modern and remodeled plants have exhaust scrubbers, and filters and most are very low on emissions. Gas carts, older cars, motorcycles and lawnmowers mostly have NO emission controls, Zero as in NONE. They are major polluters. Gas is C8H18 and when mixed with air (N2O2) produces CO, Co2, UHC ,NOx,,H20 etc. This can be mostly scrubbed on modern cars with Catalytic Units. Main stationary plants have many controls and scrubbers for an exhaust. Again, Carts, Motor Cycles, lawnmowers have no controls. In Vancouver Wa. a bus company cannot operate a gas bus, it has to be Natural Gas. A good reason for that. Suggest holding your breath going through tunnels. You DO NOT need to hold your breath when going by a generating plant. A BIG Difference.
Think an answer before ??? Do some reading as a starter ???
