How did the "Smoky" Mountains get their name?
This is old news.
This is the key graf: ...a proposed road on the north shore of Fontana Lake...
The anti-development loonies are using the old excuse of "smoky" skies in the "Smoky" Mountins to prevent a road from being built.

High ozone levels, acid rain, continued underfunding and a proposed road on the north shore of Fontana Lake in North Carolina are combining to endanger the park's future, Kiernan said. All about the Benjamins.

How did the Smoky Mountains get their name? It wasn't from the smoke from factories and power plants. It comes from the fog that early settlers saw on the mountains.
The Park is dying. My family has lived in East Tennessee since 1979, and you can see the damage that's being done to the park.

Hmmm - grey-blue mist from plant respiration or brown haze from pollution. Same thing, right?
