Question 2: an annotated bibliography

Andrew, Jamison. 1970. "The Steam-Powered Automobile; an Answer to Air Pollution.

Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1970." Searchit.libraries.wsu.edu. 1970.

Andrew provides a simple approach in which society can curb pollution of the

environment by automobile pollution. The car business grew up and paid its price and behaving

as it pleased. Determining how the government will fund research on these new steam-powered

cars may have a major effect on the future of automobile mobility in the US Ford and GM is

among the businesses researching it [1]. The source indicates that integrating the importance of a

clean environment safeguards the lives of individuals.

Daniela Attias has given vital information about auto transformation. Divergent vehicles,

services, demands, and applications are creating a major change in the automotive industry.

Other innovative services like carpooling and self-service cars are helping to build a new

ecology. The author assesses how governments might help develop more sustainable,

responsible, and shared transportation. The demand for private cars is changing. Manufacturers

of automobiles, components, recyclers, energy and fuel suppliers, and newcomers like

engineering, computing, and telecom providers are affected [2]. The source would bring a

solution to the gap in environmental protection in automobile industries.

Michigan Law Review 68 (6): 1083. https://doi.org/10.2307/1287337.
Currie indicates that Lands became "vacant" as the US acquired territory. Nearly a third

are now federal. The Interior Department manages most public lands. Analysis of DOI form and

composition about public lands use and location. Individuals and groups not directly engaged in

the disposition of public lands have recently shown an increasing interest in resources and

conservation issues [3]. The source indicates land as a factor of production in the automobile

industry. If it is polluted, then it would not support life.

Dewees Case rests on how the effects of automobile production have affected the

environment negatively. The author uses data from the current American states of pollution

caused by automobile industries. Monitoring and evaluating cost is an important aspect of

understanding the effects of pollution [4]. The information provided by Dewees is important in

down streaming on the method that could help regulate the pollution by automobiles. The

information allows learners to integrate different stages in which we can take to control

pollution.

Automobile pollution began in the 1880s when Europeans began building engines to

transport people and goods. However, rising personal vehicle demand and availability

exacerbated pollution caused by exhaust emissions. As a result of car pollution, energy

consumption and the manufacture of ecologically friendly automobiles have been regulated [ 5].

The information in the source allows learners to understand if there is transformation towards

protecting the environment by the automotive industries.

Schmalensee and Stavins (2019) examine how regulation can preserve the environment.

So the 1970 Clean Air Act addressed national environmental issues? Publicize major regulatory

reform proposals. Since Reagan, major projects must pass the OMB's benefit-cost criteria. The

1977 Clean Air Act was the first major amendment. EPA may now establish Technology-based

air toxics control recommendations. With a pioneering sulfur dioxide cap-and-trade system, they

halved acid rain [6]. The study would concentrate on demonstrating their capacity to promote

change in the automobile industry.

Question 3: self-reflection
Comments: Far too vague. Automobile pollution where? Causing what issues? In what

period?

My study subject relates to the course's general topics since vehicle pollution contributes

to global warming. Acid rain from automobile pollution damages plants and corrodes human and

animal skin. Until automobiles were ubiquitous, the automotive industry had little impact on the

environment.

Question 4: Research Question to Hypothesis / Thesis Statement

How did localized pollution become a worldwide issue?

Has the implementation of environmental regulations decreased vehicle pollution?
