SO2 is 2.21 times heavier than air. The high altitude plumes from volcanoes affect the global atmosphere. The S02 emissions from vehicles originate a few feet off the ground, and settle to the ground quickly due to their density. If ULSD and expensive emissions systems on diesel engines are effective in reducing atmospheric CO2- we should be seeing a decrease in new diagnoses of asthma, not? But CDC statistics from 2004-2009 show a sharp increase in asthma diagnoses from 2007 to 2009, the time period that ULSD was introduced.

Even if the EPA is correct, and ULSD is "only" costing 4 billion a year additional, that is a four billion dollar tax on farmers, construction companies, truckers, railroads, ships and everyone that uses the products they transport and produce. I will take the EPA's 4 billion figure as hard evidence of harm to the economy. Where is any hard evidence of any benefit?
If you consider the additional cost of emissions systems for current diesel engines (several thousand dollars per engine), and the minimal impact on reducing atmospheric SO2, it is clear that the EPA's benefit analysis is not credible. Just one more reason that our country and way of life is fast fading away, unless we can reverse these trends.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
