More on Polyisobutylene (PIB)-Miracle Gasoline additive

(This artuicle is in response to a reply to a posting I put up yesterday about a gasoline additive that gives 20% more miles traveled per gallon and eliminates 70% of harmful exhaust fumes. The article was titled "Gasoline additive increases mileage 20%, reduces exhaust emissions 70%" - in the Science and Technology Forum)

I don't believe there is a catch to this additive. It is used to clean up oil spills. It is a polymer. A polymer is like a hardener additive like in an Epoxy glue kit where there is two tubes that you mix together while one of those tubes contains a hardener, or polymer. When added to a crude oil spill, it causes the oil to coagulate, or clot up, so the oil doesn't spread and dissolve. It makes it easy to clean up with vacuum like pumps. What polyisobutylene does is it tightens the molecular structure of gasoline, or any oil product, so that it combusts more efficiently. It is like when gunpowder is burned without being contained in a metal shell, it just makes a big sparkly flame. But when it is encased in a metal shell, it explodes. This higher rate of combustion causes more of components of gasoline to burn and turn into inert carbon byproducts instead of coming back out the tailpipe unburned fuel. This creates less pollution and more power. Gasoline and many other crude oil products are simply unfinished products put out on the market as defective products, unless polyisobutylene is mixed with it. It was originally developed by the military as an additive to jet fuel so that it would be less volatile, or gaseous. This helps to prevent explosions during crashes and during the fueling process where there are a lot of dangerous fumes that escape into the air. It is used in shops where workers are exposed to a lot of petroleum products to make them less gaseous. It makes gasoline less volatile where a lot of pollution contributing to low level ozone comes from fumes from evaporating gases from gasoline. The catch is that using Polyisobutylene would hurt the pharmaceutical and medical services industry that rely on people being exposed to highway pollution to keep their stock values high, and big polluting industries need automobile pollution to blame what they cause with their irresponsible plants with smog. Environmentalist need to be able to complain about fossil fuels in order to keep their following of young little eager beaver activists following them around like they are gods, while they also need the issue to keep donation drives healthy. If polyisobutylene was instituted on a massive scale, there would be nowhere left to focus to further rid our environment of pollutants other than to force polluters to clean up their production plants. This is not a complicated process. The only reason it doesn't get done by the polluters is because pharmaceutical sales is by far the most lucrative enterprise in the world with profit margins that can reach into the thousands of percents. The owners of these plants all invest heavily in pharmaceutical and medical services industries and know what would happen if they clean up their plants. The environmentalist leadership is also keenly aware that if the proper steps were taken, environmental issues would become old hat in a very short period of time while they have all taken out huge mortgages on their homes and have no other way to pay for their lifestyle. They also have become addicted to their position of power in society. If you look at any government agency that is created to solve any particular issue, you find that a few years after the agency is created, the problem it was designed to solve gets worse. This is because once a large amount of money is designated to solve a problem, the solvers are given a paycheck. They then take that paycheck to the bank and get a loan for a home they could never have afforded before they took on this new responsibility. The loan is usually for thirty years. If they actually solve the problem they were hired to attend to, they have no way to pay off the loan. If the problem gets worse, they get a raise and a position of with more power and less work within that agency, and they can go buy a new home in a better neighborhood and a Lexus. There is no incentive in the issue related solving process to actually fix something, in fact the incentive process points in the opposite direction. What needs to change is that if a group of people are assigned a task of finding a solution for a social ill, that they understand that once the task is completed successfully, they get to go home with a raise and keep their paycheck for the rest of their life, while they can then go out and find another job, solving some other social ill, so one day if they are able to solve all the worlds problems, they can retire rich without ever engaging a corrupt process. If a problem comes up with a solution they have created that lead to them retiring early, they have to go back to work but the paycheck keeps coming. What do you think of that noise; that is some wicked badass shit right there isn't it.
