Interesting that WV is about equal to CO2 in exhaust for petrol and diesel engines.

 

Burning Car Fuel Creates what Exhaust?

Article Link

 For every pound of fuel burned, you get about a pound and a third of water, as a combustion product, in the exhaust gas.  No way to prevent it; it's right there in the chemical equation.  You only see it when the engine is cold, or the gas flows over cold surfaces or into cold air, where the water becomes liquid.

In spark-ignition engines the gases resulting from combustion of the fuel and air mix are called exhaust gases. The composition varies from petrol to diesel engines, but is around these levels:

We should revisit occasionally what the proper role of government is.   As the constitution was a good sense of direction, we need a core set of principles to add in order to deal with the future.

 

So many want to engineer society, remove risk, assist certain groups, rather than let individuals thrive and raise communities.  Why?

 

Is Democracy where we all "get it good and hard" or is it the best means to a free society?

 

Should we roll with the special interests, or make the government achieve its proper role, what is that role, and how to do this?

 

When do deficits and governments become too large?

 

Government is becoming more elitist while trying to sell corrections to problems it created, what makes this possible?

Currently as a society, we are having a most difficult time discussing political issues.  What is driving this?   And why a rebirth in political culture would be a good thing.

 

Market Economy

Are "markets" dead as some would conjecture? Or is free enterprise what got us here?

 

Economic Theories

At the heart of economics there are several possible economic schools of thought, the essence of these schools of thought and how they relate to our lives.
