New Study: Natural gas vehicles increase emissions

March 3, 2011 By TXsharon

The scam of the so-called “clean energy” bridge fuel is coming unraveled.

Hitching a clean fuel ride in India could actually harm environment: study

By: Tamsyn Burgmann, The Canadian Press, 1/03/2011

“The impact of the clean fuel on these vehicles was not at all what was assumed or hoped by the government,” said Conor Reynolds, the study’s lead author and a post-doctoral fellow at the UBC Liu Institute for Global Issues.

“What’s more, as we found out, the climate impacts were increased dramatically.”

‘Clean’ fuel made some vehicle emissions worse, UBC study discovers
New Delhi’s sweeping conversion to compressed natural gas has mixed results
By Randy Shore, Vancouver Sun March 2, 2011

The conversion of New Delhi’s fleet of auto-rickshaws from gasoline to compressed natural gas actually increased production of a key greenhouse gas while failing to lower carbon dioxide emissions in 5,000 older vehicles, according to a new study from the University of British Columbia.

    So I should not convert my 30 year old chainsaw, dirt bike, weed eater or leaf blower to natural gas. Those were the only things I had wanted to convert. Wow your right it's just unraveling. Shocking news I say.

    Let's see, didn't I read lately that industry said they need to try something new because the general public is not falling for the whole fracking thing? Yes, I believe I did read something like that.

    Having a hard time these days, Katie? It's only going to get worse.

    It's funny the rumors Big Green turns out. Maybe Chesapeake will bring back Tommy Lee to explain some things to ya but that's because they are PR trainwrecks. But otherwise I can only speak for our group and we're just keep our words out of the media/Big Green hands to keep them from being twisted. What should be getting worse? It's as if you think I'm a dope cook running from the law.

    Thanks for asking about me. Things have been going good. Just more paperwork and magically more face to face time with the TRRC on site. I think the EPA thing jump started that the timing sure lined up. But with nothing to hide, it's not getting harder for me.

    Seriously? You are going to mention PR after this train wreck. I'm pretty sure Tommy won't be coming back to help you out any time soon.

    Funny you should mention the dope cook gig.

    Ed Ireland does not represent me and my bunch anymore than the Sierra club proclaiming nat gas is great bridge fuel or praising range resources for fully disclosing frac chemicals, represents your opinion or does it?

    Your bunch? So, "your bunch" isn't part of the Big Gas Mafia? "Your bunch" must be more like a bunch of small-time, fly-by-night thugs then.

    You've got to be kidding me! If you think I'm going to post that comment from Anon with the link to your bullshit blog, you are sadly mistaken. Lunatic much?
