Facts trump opinions
Closing down dirty air doesn't seem to have a penalty at all.
As usual, the wing nuts dire predictions turn out to be flimsy.
The "aginners", the ones who are against anything Obama wants to do, whine and writhe over stuff just for the sake of whining and writhing.
Here we go again.
In Some States, Emissions Cuts Defy Skeptics
And this is just a few states where the states themselves have put on the clamps. Wait until the big ones come on line.
I am not a big thumper for the environment, really. But I can smell a special interest when it comes on the scene and tells blatant lies in its own interest. Then, the when the lie belies the reality, I can see that these people know they are fucking it up and are trying to go around the end to save some money. At my expense. Cough cough.
We don't have much pollution here. Nature does the worst of it with the occasional sand storm or silica cloud. It is "natural dust" that is settling in my lungs these days.
Not much we can do about this stuff. But to pour more in? No. Bad enough with the cars from the 10 and local travel from time to time when the air "inverts".
There is no doubt that the air is "thicker" now than it was when we moved here 16 years ago. But we are doing it to ourselves. Somehow that seems more intimately dangerous, closer to home at least.
