  • @kudosbear01 Well impurities can cause Carbon monoxide if too little oxygen is used in the combustion... Nitrogen Dioxide can be produced during a spark... Sulphur Dioxide is a common impurity... causes acid rain (in larger amounts)

    Which is why we use expensive platinum catalyst :D

    now stop scraping cars to make your rings >:c dirty housewives.

  • @CuCuCahoo

    Burning coal and oil releases CO2...CO2 is essential for plant growth, which is in turn good for all of the creatures on this planet. Rapid plant growth = greater food supply/ more oxygen, and last I checked those are very good things. Even if CO2 was bad, humans account for roughly .03% of the 3% that makes up the atmosphere. The only thing about CO2 is that Al Gore is position to become the first Carbon Billionaire if Carbon Taxing were to pass.

  • i hate when people say batteries or electric cars are eco that energy doesnt come from no-where to create the electricty you burn coal or oil (rarely oil, usually coal) which puts fumes into our atmosphere sure say "but what about solar energy or wind turbines?" there isnt enough of that to create all of the energy in the world especcially for batteries being made in other countries
