Reminds me of an English beauty queen who was a perennial candidate for mayor of Los Angeles back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. She proposed to solve the smog problem in LA by drilling holes through the San Gabriel Mountains that would allow the smog to blow away out into the desert.
“... by drilling holes through the San Gabriel Mountains that would allow the smog to blow away out into the desert.”
It is interesting that she at least understood the basic nature of the smog problem in LA.
Visited Amsterdam and stayed out way too late. Walking past all of the litter, bums and drunks in the streets and plazas back to the hostel. Maybe only 3 hours later had to leave and catch a train. The sun was just starting to come up. Rays of sunlight sparkling on the water that remained on the perfectly clean and EMPTY streets. It was REALLY weird. Reminded me of that movie Soylent Green.
at about that time someone floated an idea. Giant fans on top of the mountains blowing the dirty air out to sea.
