It is gas taxation. Taxes on gas hit wallets hard and drain bank accounts. The federal gas tax was a mere penny per gallon and first came into effect in 1932 as a temporary charge. Nine years later‚ the gas tax became permanent through the Revenue Act of 1941 in order to help fund the war effort and increased by half a cent per gallon. In 1959‚ President Eisenhower raised the tax to four pennies per gallon to fund his creation of the interstate highway system. As of 2005‚ the federal gas tax alone

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding The Process Gas Tungsten Arc Welding‚ also known as Tungsten Inert Gas Welding‚ is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce a weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas‚ such as argon or helium‚ and filler metal is normally used‚ except in autogenous welds. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and

Gas is an important productive resource in the world. Driving cars‚ heating buildings‚ producing electricity‚ people all need gas. Therefore‚ gas is directly related to people’s normal life and the global economy. Recently‚ due to the fights between Israel and the Hezbollah guerrilla‚ the Middle East political and economic situation has been deteriorating‚ which has led to the continuous hikes of gas prices. Since gas plays an important role in our economy‚ people should understand that the high

This week’s video covered how to properly remove an old A-frame gas block to swap out with a modernized low-profile/picatinny railed gas block. Throughout the course of this video it’s very apparent that utilizing the proper tools can make this an easy job. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of “winging it” on an upgrade on my first AR-15. I’ll now cover the importance of using the proper tools. The video doesn’t demonstrate it‚ but it’s also very valuable to pay attention. The Gentleman in the

exists in a gas phase at room temperature and 1 atm‚ but can also be obtained in solid phase (dry ice) for a general laboratory setting. In order to obtain liquid phase CO2 at room temperature and 1 atm‚ CO2 has to be pressurized and heated past the triple point‚ shown in Figure 1. 1 At temperatures above -56.6°C and pressures above 5.1 atm‚ liquid CO2 can be formed condensed and be used to extract limonene.1 The high pressure could be achieved by increasing the moles of CO2 gas

Patrick Meehan Jeb Waldschmidt ENGL 102-05 3-26-05 Natural Gas and the Future of Energy Until recently natural gas was considered the dirty brother of oil. Natural gas was often stranded and left undeveloped‚ often wasting it. Oftentimes natural gas was considered unusable ’ and worthless ’ compared to oil. But now that the oil is running out a new light is being shown on natural gas. Today natural gas is very much in favor as a clean fossil fuel‚ especially for electricity

Shale gas: Pro and Cons for UK Abstract Introduction Shale gas is natural gas that is found in shale formations. It is becoming increasingly important as major nations are beginning to become involved in this revolution. The gas is rich in petroleum and natural gas. Unlike conventional natural gas‚ which is in permeable rocks like sandstone‚ gas cannot flow through the shale. Therefore‚ just drilling a well isn’t enough to extract this gas. As a result of this‚ fracking or hydraulic fracturing
