Congress Time

This is a bit of an experiment in sharing resources. As much fun as it may be to bullshit, everyone is going to need to be prepared with a good case for each Congress bill in order to do well at Quals. The idea is that we can all help with case writing. BE PREPARED FOR EITHER SIDE OF THE DEBATES.

First bill first: A Resolution Regarding Low-Emission Vehicles

I am inclined to go against this one, but then again, I go against everything. First of all, what the hell is a SULEV or ZEV?

About LEV's

Controlled pollution categories are:
Hydrocarbons
Nitrous oxides
Carbon monoxide
The
well to wheel emission balance is not included in the classification as
SULEV,
with certain fuel generation paths it might well prove to be more
polluting for
the wider environment.

So it sounds like the EPA (or whoever defines the terms) says pollution is composed of those three types of emissions. Funny how they forget about the production of the vehicles.
