California Gov. Jerry Brown to launch satellite to track greenhouse gas emissions

California Gov. Jerry Brown started the week by signing a pair of actions to get his state to use nothing but electric power drawn from green sources like wind and solar by 2045. He ended the week Friday with a surprise: The state would launch its "own damn satellite" to track down greenhouse gas emitters who fuel global warming.

Brown announces California plan to launch satellite to track climate change

News of California's satellite was among an abundance of pomp and pageantry on Friday when some of the week's biggest names took the stage, including musician Dave Matthews, former Secretary of State John Kerry and chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall.

    Interesting, still produces sulfur dioxide though.

    From what sulfur? Sulfur attacks metals at high temperature, so they do their best to remove the naturally occurring sulfur impurities it during the production of RP-1. Not 100% effective, but there's far less sulfur than you'd find in normal kerosene, gasoline, etc.
