Forgot one big one about your post......
LA is in a basin, winds don't "Clear" the smog away very well in a basin.....
+ California has the strictest standards in the US for pollution.
And are also one of/if not the/ largest users of electricity in the country. (Hint...that power comes from somewhere!)
And meanwhile the state is suffering from an inadequate power supply system (Due to the refusal of residents to allow power stations to be built), yet demanding & buying the things that use more and more power.....the demand just goes up, and up!, and up!.....
Just think how bad it will be in the next few years...what with all of the "Undocumented Residents" adding to the load!
Conservation only can go so far.....One still expends energy doing any activity....as such, One needs a source for this
energy.....Ours, like it or not, right now(and for the foreseeable future)...Is oil.
