Other than outright "faking it" as some may do, making the smoke invisible is rather simple. An example is an electrified grid over the top of the stack.
Some of the power plants started doing that when people complained about the black smoke coming from their stacks. Didn't do anything for the biggest pollutants, but made people "feel" better.
Sort of like these kinds of ordinances. "Feel good, do nothing" Most people with a 5th grade education understand this fallacy, but apparently that is NOT a requirement to serve in public office these days :R- Shutup everyone, and do like the good Russians do, cope with the "Hope and Change".
I'm thinking Canada might be a better place to live. I live in Florida though so my blood would probably never thicken up enough to keep from freezing up there.
I might consider Mexico, where the ordinary citizen can bribe local officials. Unlike here. You have to be large enough to employ a Lobbyist. - Nothing like the smell of a driftwood fire overwhelming clean salt air......

Yes! That's the ticket and maybe individual methane capture devices to fire the BBQ and a fake gas campfire!trailertraveler wrote:

I think some of the more radical attacks/efforts to control pollution based on climate change are out of control. Carbon Dioxide(CO2) is now classified as a pollutant. Methane is a greenhouse gas. Wonder how long it will be before we need individual permits and scrubbers for our point source emissions?- Unless you're in N. Carolina and the stacks are there for look only. :)
- This brings to mind a related subject I haven't resolved. We have many BBQ places in the next town but you never see smoke from the pipes from the pits.
There is one place in particular that has bright shiny stainlless exhaust that are as pristine as the day they came out of the box.
They don't BBQ. They boil and season and throw it on a grill for a minute or two. One has it shipped in already smoked. Nothing like week old smoked BBQ chicken. I suspect that there must be some ordinance forbidding the smokers but don't know. trailertraveler wrote:

You mean like "pollution permits" for jogging? Adds a lot more CO2 to the air than walking. And it is only a "tradition" you don't really need to do it to enjoy the outdoors. I've jogged before, but since I don't really need it to enjoy the environment, others shouldn't be allowed to do it. :R
Jogging generates heat, sweat, CO2, smell, all kinds of pollution. That's the "REAL" cause of global warming. :R

Very good question. I wonder if it applies to them.
I wonder how many of the people with the mega homes near the area have an indoor or outdoor fireplace?
Of course not. Their smoke, like other "stuff" doesn't stink. LOLdodge guy wrote:
