    Hmmmm.......where does the smog originate? Is it blown from Asia? You're telling me smog in California has little to no contributions from residents?

    Very little m, smog in Los Angeles inland empire area is trapped by mountain ranges. they have cleaned up that #### hole quite a bit. But China and India and other countries pollute so bad it’s not helping much
    Just follow the money. I did like going out with an old Pete to haul my RV with and not a #### thing they can do because it’s a personal vehicle. Tree huggers gated the AModel kitty bealching

    If we did that, we would see the second most populous area in the united states with (subpar if even that high) transit systems and spread out so that travel by car is many peoples only option...

    The solution is trains, which they dont want, so they blame trucks here.

    And no, you are factually incorrect about the smog being from asia. Asia isnt great on emissions, but if la smog was caused by asia, the entire pacific coast as well as say hawaii would be blanketed by the same air quality.

    Thats simply not the case.

    A Little tip for you. In case you didnt know, yahoo news is worse than cnn when it comes to fanning flames and causing a stir. Yahoo is the most liberal news out there. Fake news

    yeah if you go to yahoo home page it has news. News that would piss anyone off. I use yahoo email for almost 20 years and i get directed to yahoo home page to get to my email. If it wasnt linked to my trucking bussiness, i would be using a different email. So yeah they have me by my balls

    Ships could easily reduce their emissions by installing scrubbers that use sodium hydroxide (NaOH) that can simultaneously remove NOx, SOx, and CO2. Using these shipping companies could basically run anything they want and the stuff coming out the stack would still just be 99% nitrogen and water. But nooooooooooooooo, everything just HAS to be ClEaN gReEn, amirite?
