Catalytic Converters and the EPA.

I included all my sources when I submitted it to my professor, didn't think it would be necessary on this site..

Also, the EPA article did not entirely push for the use of electric cars. The premise of the article was to reinvent the cat to burn cleaner at idle, when a staggering amount of the pollution and harmful fumes are emitted...Although I don't disagree that the EPA would be in favor of electic cars, I don't think their catalytic converter argument is concerning that part of their usually skewed agenda, however I do see how it could be linked

I don't always find fault with the EPA, just with some of their narrow minded policies concerning automobiles. I know that had it not been formed, industry would probably still be using older cheaper technology with NO environmental regulations, and our car show summers would probably have more Code Red days then we already do.

My disagreement with their automobile policies is why I have chosen the field I'm currently enrolled in...would be nice to try to make a change, as overly optimistic as that may sound.
