“Ask a park ranger in RMNP about the effects of air pollution drifting in from SF & LA.”
Agreed, but the primary source of his angst comes not from vehicles but from Calif forest mis-management - we’ve suffered more than 5 years of this dreaded policy malfeasance in my Nevada neighborhood, with Calif ash even coming into our house, yet this goes totally unabated, in fact Calif doesn’t even count the CO2 resulting from their wildfires… “Stupid is as Stupid does” comes to mind…
“The sooner the oil wells in CA are decommissioned the better”…
Lots of emotion here (a NIMBY syndrome??), but then who’ll provide the fuel for our RV tow vehicles, and for those who accept without any personal examination whatsoever that CO2 is a ‘pollutant’ - regardless the source, how do we replace oil with a 24/7 steady, reliable energy supply without going nuclear??
“Today is Clean Air Day in CA” …
Huh??…I only wish Calif would declare a Clean Air Reparations Day for the weeks and even months others elsewhere are in a virtual lockdown over devastating AQI !! Even the sky's in our friends region in Delaware had turned brown!!…(Yet, not a single solitary word from the greenies - lol).
As unfortunate and ugly as it is, oil and natural gas seeping up from the ocean floor is a worldwide centuries old phenomenon, yet nature has it’s ways and means of digesting such…
The ugly truth is that there’s no free lunch, no one gets a pass…We all bear some degree of personal responsibility, mainly because of the first world lifestyles we partake in and enjoy, yet outsourcing energy production offshore causes far more pollution…So on the one hand one might ask of themselves “what am I willing to give up”, but much of this paradox can be properly mitigated were there to be a coherent, multi-facited, non-politicized energy policy (but environmental fear sells), the best initial investment might be modernization of the grid..
