"The legacy issue endures of thousands of piston-engine planes taking off from smaller airports, many still spewing lead from their exhaust. Research has linked lead exposure to the disruption of development of the brain and nervous system in children".

I have mentioned a number of times that I am surprised what aviation gets away with relative to the billions of dollars that the car, motorcycle, truck, boat, snowmobile and other powered vehicle industries spend to meet constantly updating regulations.

It's not a case of if, it's a case of when. If you got shares in Lycoming or Continental, dump them soon.

Not sure what they are going to do with the bulk of GA flying around with dirty engines, but if you're building and can't decide between traditional and an auto based offering, this should help sway your decision.
