LA does have some smog and it does need to be dealt with but
one EPA sized rule does not fit all. Remember living in the bubble of LA is
different than living in the fly over states. Air quality needs to be addressed
in big cities but even with the smog it's NOT causing global warming. Smog and
global warming are not connected and never have been. The facts don't fit the
argument and today the smog is not as big a problem as it was because cars are
burning cleaner fuel and are not admitting as bad of emissions as 20 years ago.
Even if the air quality in LA still needs improvement we
shouldn’t destroy the entire nation’s economy by spending billions on energy
systems than have a huge deficit on cost and delivery. Especially if it can
only be counted on to meet less than 10% of our energy needs right now. It’s a
real fairy tale to believe that solar, wind and bio-fuels are going to heat and
cool every house in the US or power every car, ship, truck or train that moves
food and every other essential consumer products we need.
I’ll give one truly ironic and moronic thing I love about
California greenies that drives me crazy in this fantasy that is global
warming. Some think electric cars are the answer. Really? First where does the
electric power come from? Power plants. What do they use as an energy source to
fuel power plants? Coal and natural gas. When I lived in Sacramento 10 years
ago (another city with smog problems) the people of California didn’t want any
more power plants built because they burned coal or natural gas.
Well Gee… how the hell are you going to power electric cars
if the power grid in cities like LA and Sacramento are maxed out already?
Electric energy is not an invisible source of energy. I’m amazed how stupid
people are in just this one case alone. Then the other issue is the manufacture
and the disposal of the car batteries if millions are put into production and
used. The chemical waste created by batteries would be far more harmful to the
environment that any diesel or gas burning vehicle.
Just like power plants some don’t want solar farms either in
California. It’s the same moronic thinking that is getting us all nowhere. Why
are we letting California control the narrative on the whole climate change and
energy debate? They don’t have a clue. They want Solar Energy but not at the
sake of Turtles. Click on the link below to read to see firsthand the madness
of it all.
Bio-fuels have proven to be a disaster. First you must use
energy to plant the corn, then energy to harvest the corn, and then use energy
to transport the corn to a processing facility, and then use energy to process
the corn into fuel, and then use energy to transport the fuel to dispensing
facilities. Wow, very efficient system there isn’t it? More energy is wasted in
making the energy than any benefit of using it thus it’s a negative outcome not
just from an energy standpoint but from an economic outcome. Not only that but the
corn used to make the fuel is causing worldwide food shortages and driving up
the price of foods that use corn additives.
The farmers planting the corn for bio-fuels love it because
they’re receiving massive government subsidies to grow and plant corn for
bio-fuel. We shouldn’t have to subsidize another grand and stupendous failure
like this one period when oil, natural gas and coal are in abundance.
Wind and solar are a joke too, because they cannot and will
not work in certain areas of the US because of weather conditions. I live in NW
Oregon wind and solar is impossible here just as it is many parts of the
country. It’s total nonsense that the people of LA or any of the other big
cities can dictate what energy policy and air quality policy is going to be
when nothing compares to their problems.
Nuclear power plants is one of solutions I support, but it’s
the same thing, waste is created in the process so Greenies don’t want them. In
France they’ve been safely using them for years.
One thing is certain we can’t let people who believe in
global warming destroy our free society by letting a few cites with some smog
problems dictate energy and economic policy to the rest of us. Oil, natural gas
and coal in combination with the other useful alternative energy sources can
and should be used but this straw man called global warming needs to be burned
at the stake because man isn’t causing climate change.
