Engineers point out that a Stirling engine would be quieter than an equivalent internal combustion engine, would emit less noxious fumes, and would use fuel more economically. Lacking any need for valves or cams, it would also have fewer parts. Jack Collins, manager of Ford's alternative-engines program, concedes that the Stirling is still a long way from being ready for passenger car use; for one thing, an adequate burner has not yet been developed...
...That the proposed AP&L plant, which would burn low-sulfur coal, would probably emit more sulfur dioxide than Arkansas and federal standards permit...
ACORN is trying to stop Arkansas Power and Light, a subsidiary of Middle South Utilities, from building a 2800-megawatt, coal burning plant that it says would emit large amounts of sulfur dioxide, causing damage to nearby crops...
PICTURE THIS SCENARIO: an ecologically-minded university sends a team of experts to a southern state to study the environmental effects of a proposed power plant. The study determines that if the power plant is built without the proper safeguards, it would emit dangerously high levels of sulphur dioxide. The team of experts is well aware that sulphur dioxide destroys crops, water supplies, and equipment owned by farmers in the area surrounding the proposed plant...
...UTILITY's own statements provide compelling evidence against the plant which will emit 460 tons of sulphur dioxide each day, or 13,000 tons each month. ACORN says that an iron smelter in Ontario emits 8,000 tons a month, and that vegetation within five miles of the smelter is wiped...
