Thank goodness for all of California's environmental policies or they might have some of the worst pollution in the country......

""It's a tough job cleaning up the ozone at this point because there are not a lot of easy emissions to target," said Joe Cassmassi,"

Translation: "We'll just have to find something new to target and CALL it and emission problem. Whether it is or not."

Snort.

Houston and the San Joaquin Valley, which in recent years rivaled or surpassed Los Angeles as the country's smoggiest areas, enjoyed exceptionally clean air this year.

It's amazing how Houston's air quality miraculously improves in an off year for Presidential elections. Is it possible the Democrats/MSM have an ulterior motive to lie about pollution in Houston during an election year when their opponent is from Texas? I think we all know the answer to that question.

Maybe it's time for someone to sick the EPA on the Hollywood film industry and see if they actually get point source emission permits for all those gasoline fueled special effects explosions they set off. Unburned hydrocarbons are a big part of the smog problem - and to my understanding you have to use an electric charcoal grill igniter (instead of gasoline, kerosene or Zippy-Lite/whatever)in the LA area due to concerns about hydrocarbons.

Every major city failed the standard once the standard was lowered to a non-attainable range.

Got to keep the smog police in business, ya' know.

It's all them Hollyweird types and their SUV's

I never notice the smog in Houston, do you?

It's not that hard to find the source on any CA freeway.
"Smoker" cars are all over the place. It's amazing to me that these things are allowed anywhere near the road, but there they are, polluting about 10,000 times more than any modern or any older maintained vehicle.

The Legislature allows the CHP to go easy on these folks, however, for reasons you may guess.
