Acid rain is a naturally occuring phenomenon. It has always been and always will be. Man's SOX contributions are so miniscule it did not and does not significantly affect the pH of rain one way or another. The forced reductions in SOX is similar to the new****nic standards or the proposed carbon taxes - such actions measurably do nothing to make the world a better place, but they do make some of the "stuck on stupid" crowd feel good about themselves. <br /> <br />Or to put it another way: How much more pollution is being caused by the increase use in energy necessary to make biodiesel and ethanol over the energy used to crack petroleum or to liquify coal? It's one thing if you are using a biofuel feedstock that is a waste product or by-product of some other process, but it's altogether insane to grow crops and/or harvest trees specifically to make biofuels.
