Most sources say that jogging is good for your health. However the exposure to carbon monoxide
from the fumes of autos driving by, probably offsets any benefit and makes jogging neutral for you.
It's not that we don't have the science to make cars that don't use fossil fuels.
There was a competition around the year 2000 where different colleges made cars that ran on water and raced them... (Now this information is no longer to be found) I hope to talk about the google being narrowed down later... Though if it's true and one considers how many Americans and Iraqi's lost their lives in the Iraq conflict, when we don't even need oil, It's atrocious. For a while it seemed that electric cars have to be dinky looking and slow. It turns out that isn't the case at all.. From what I understand it's the oil moguls that force car manufacturers to make electric cars seem unappealing The New York Times -WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency announced on Tuesday that Scott Pruitt, the chief of the agency, had signed a measure to repeal President Barack Obama’s signature policy to curb greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, setting up a bitter fight over the future of America’s efforts to tackle global warming. Could policies like this be influenced by our new secretary of state Rex Tillerson, head of Exxon Mobile? I think so. I ask you what is more important then the air we breathe? We are so used to breathing air w exhaust fumes that we can't even smell it anymore for the most part. Accept, that our cars are loud and stinky because oi companies want to continue making profits? The fucked up part is that even if you want to do good, you don't care what your car looks like... It's the principle of moving forward that's important to you : You really are driving a coal powered car because: Our country runs on mostly coal energy, it's cheap abundant and terrible for the Earth. Second only to our 99 Nuclear power plants. Nuclear power does use technology and it does not emmit carbon however it does use a resource called uranium that needs to be mined and is not renewable. Nuke reactors essentially split the atom and make a tremendous burst of energy.. Only 5% of which is used, basically to heat up water and the other 95% ends up waste that we bury in the Earth with caution signs of every form because we know radiation causes all types of birth defects, diseases etc. yet Radioactive isotopes eventually decay, or disintegrate, to harmless materials. Some isotopes decay in hours or even minutes, but others decay very slowly. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years.
I asked google: How long for nuclear waste to be safe?
Of particular concern in nuclear waste management are two long-lived fission products, Tc-99 (half-life 220,000 years) and I-129 (half-life 15.7 million years), which dominate spent fuel radioactivity after a few thousand years.
France has achieved less wasteful Nuclear energy.. However nuclear power is not responsible, I understand if we didn't have any other choice but with today's technology.. We could run the entire country only using wind and solar.
