Air Pollution Abatement

The control of airborn emissions from industrial sources has become a fact of life for management all over the United States. Every state, the federal government, and several hundred municipalities and counties have enabling legislation backed up by ever-increasing volumes of regulations aimed at reducing pollution of the atmosphere. Recognizing the inevitability of even more restrictive regulations, many individual companies and industry organizations are directing efforts toward identifying the air pollution potential of their operations and investigating the means available to them to meet the standards imposed upon them.

High Pollution

The weather over the eastern two-thirds of the United States was monitored, and air pollution potential forecasts were made and disseminated to affected cities. The experiment allowed for air sampling under a variety of synoptic patterns, and the results strengthen the validity of the previously developed criteria as indicators of prolonged periods of two or more days of high air pollution. Other considerations are indicated for the prediction of isolated days (not prolonged periods) of high pollution.

Regional Economic Model

This paper describes the development and demonstration of an operational regional economic model for the assessment of economy-wide effects of air pollution abatement strategies in ninety-one major metropolitan areas in the United States. The model is a cross-sectional Keynesian-type regional macro model that is connected to a national input-output model (1963) via a regional share (location quotient) matrix. The model was used to assess the economic effects of three strategies reflecting the control costs corresponding to the Clean Air Act of 1967, but differing in their incidence of costs among industries, consumers, and government.

Over Time

Various subsidies for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) have been implemented worldwide at the federal, state and regional levels. These subsidies aim to promote PEV adoption to help reduce both local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (Hardman 2019). In the United States (U.S.), the federal government began subsidizing PEVs in 2010.

Texas Revolution

Between 1820 and 1827 approximately 1,800 U.S. citizens immigrated to northern Mexico as part of that country’s empresario program, in which the federal government granted foreigners land if they promised to develop and secure the region. Historians have long argued that these settlers, traditionally seen as the vanguard of Manifest Destiny, were attracted to Mexico for its cheap land and rich natural resources. Such interpretations have lent a tone of inevitability to events like the Texas Revolution. This article argues that the early members of these groups were attracted to Mexico for chiefly political reasons. At a time when the United States appeared to be turning away from its commitment to a weak federal government, Mexico was establishing itself on a constitution that insured local sovereignty and autonomy. Thus, the Texas Revolution was far from the result of two irreconcilable peoples and cultures. Moreover, the role that these settlers played in the United States’ acquisition of not just Texas, but ultimately half of Mexico’s national territory, was more paradoxical than inevitable.
