The Truth About Cars

JANUARY 5, 2024

Stellantis is planning to invest almost $5 billion in its Belvidere, Illinois plant. This could be the canary in the coal mine for a company that has been bailed out twice in my lifetime and always seems to be less stable than Ford or GM. There may be lasting effects from last year’s prolonged UAW strike. I could be wrong.

The Keystone pipeline is approximately 1,316 miles in length and transports crude oil from the US-Canadian Border in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois and includes an extension running from Jefferson County, Nebraska to Cushing, Oklahoma. Phase out of emissions from coal is itself an enormous challenge. However, if the tar.

Airborne measurements show ozone-forming VOCs emissions from ethanol plant higher than government estimates

Green Car Congress

MAY 5, 2015

New airborne measurements downwind from an Archer Daniels Midland fuel ethanol plant in Decatur, Illinois, show that ethanol emissions are 30 times higher than government baseline estimates. and so the question is: what does that do to the environment. That is a very complicated question and it has many different aspects.

AUGUST 25, 2009

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. The projects’ total value is approximately $35.8 Risk Assessment.
