This is off-topic but actual real-life example. From 1952 to 1969 I lived in Concord. Even great grandparents born and raised there spoke of inevitable hot spells during the summer with 102-to 105 degree heatwaves lasting a week. Rarely temps climbing to 112+F. Almost never sea breezes. EL NI?O winters were a fact without having a catchy moniker. 1951-52 1956-57, were monster flood years. NEVER according to lifelong families including the Diandas (since the 1700's) the Pachecos (also 1700's) did summers not bring stale days with hundred degree temperatures and high 70's dawns.
Then in the SIXTIES weather began to change. Sea breezes. What did California legislators do? Well they screamed and stamped their little Brooks Bros clad feet and shouted "SEE! YOU IDIOTS! our smog control efforts paid off royally!"
To the tune in reality about 15-20% cut in NOX, CO and CO2.
It is the POLITICIZING of technical issues that really fumes me. Let failed lawyers ruin oops I mean run your life and this is what you get.
I am dead serious about upcoming DRACONIAN regulation of recreational vehicle design, construction, and operation. Suits who wear loafers instead of shoes because tying knots is too intricate are going to gang up and legislate bit by bit restrictions on use of recreational vehicles.
I rail and fume about the insane asylum restriction on battery charger design. To save .0000001% total state energy use. Oh no. California cannot mandate compliance for use of MODERN traffic signal computer operation. That would only save ten thousand times the electricity of changing over to WILL NOT WORK smart chargers that end up as landfill and destroys millions of batteries in the process.
People who do not or refuse to see this insanity are part of the problem not part of the solution.
