Index Entry
Fossil fuel combustion puts about 80 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere in a year. With the present efficiency of electrostatic precipitators–which is approximately 50 percent-- which means that for every ton of sulfur dioxide you can extract a half a ton of sulfur. . . If the present needs of the Earth are something like 40 million tons of sulfur, by putting the proper pollution controls on the exhaust emissions, not only would you wind up with a healthier and cleaner atmosphere, but you’d be able to reduce sulfur extraction from the ground, and be able to get your sulfur right from that source. Make it a closed system
