In reply to yeah, got to admit that

17million cars & SUVs sold in US annually - for $34billion could subsidize new Electric Vehicle purchases by $20k each. Is eliminating greenhouse gasses so unreachable? We just tossed $2 trillion in the shitter.

yeah, got to admit that

In reply to Somehow not horribly

yeah, got to admit that before this happened some days the weather can be so superb there, with the big open sky blue and clear and a soft breeze. The car clean air regs. accomplished a lot! Reminds ot London as a young adult tourist before they even had catalytic converters will never forget how my eyes burned the whole time and nearly choked to death...the difference from the U.S. was stark, and so was the next time in London decades later.

Indian cities must be a lot like London in the old days especially with the heat.

In reply to L.A. the other day, in

Somehow not horribly different from the last time I drove that route a couple years ago. Pups weren't around in 1980 I guess, when it was all yellow clouds and such. (Remember listening to The Pretenders Live" on the radio - that part was a treat)

L.A. the other day, in literally the most breathtaking picture I've ever seen of it, looks like Eden if not Oz:

Los Angeles with no smog..
