2012 Fossil Fuels Ozone

EPA’s latest proposed rule targeting NOx emissions from fossil-fueled electric generating units (EGUs) is a classic study of diminishing returns. The agency’s air quality modeling indicates that most areas would receive an ozone reduction of less than 0.1 enjoyed ozone reductions of 3 to 5 ppb or more.

To reach these targets, a massive energy transition from dirty conventional marine fuels to zero-emission energy (like wind-assisted propulsion) and fuels is imperative. There is no time to waste on false climate solutions like Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)—a fossil fuel with serious global warming and public health implications.

The fossil fuel industry has systematically contaminated our environment with a wide range of toxic chemicals for over a century. One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. A study has shown that PM2.5 Another study found high levels of PM2.5

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance. According to the 2016 AQMP, mobile sources contributed about 88% of total NO x emissions in the Basin in 2012.

Every year, about 200,000 Americans die from smog, which is a mix of ozone and fine particulates (PM. 2.5. ), mostly from fossil fuel consumption. The Clean Air Act (CAA) regulates smog, setting National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone and PM. Many cities in the Northeast fail ozone and PM.

The court rejected the argument that claims against the original and 2012 versions of the LCFS were moot, noting that these earlier versions affected how credits were calculated under the 2015 version. The court said recalculation of past credits would be barred by the Eleventh Amendment.

Methane also contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone which is itself a heat-trapping greenhouse gas and, when inhaled by humans, can trigger a variety of health problems from throat irritation and coughing to bronchitis, asthma, and reduced lung function.
