I don't know why she only pointed out NOX, which is only formed at 2500 degrees (3500?I can't remember), or more. Usually those conditions are during high load, leaner mixture, and hot weather.
I think even the electric motors in hybrids release NOX when the brushes arc (gasp,did I just burn my liberal card?).
Motorcycles/mopeds could easily be cleaned up with 2-way cats, but there is also the CO2/mile numbers which should be taken into consideration, as well as the total pollution in drilling/refining/transporting twice as much gasoline to the consumer.
If the consumer trend is towards a better thing, why piss in the punchbowl?
The EPA could also take a close look at older jets spewing out fuel directly into the stratosphere, but then the unwashed masses would no longer be able to travel by plane.
