Except when there is a battery plant in someone's backyard in Frisco, then all of the sudden pollution is a problem. Other than that out of sight out of mind.

Yes it's hard to see downtown Dallas through the smog, but I'm sure that's not smog...probably dust from west texas, but we don't have a pollution problem...nope. Hell, we don't even need the EPA. Just ask Emperor Perry, if he can remember what the agency actually does.

As for your question about Californians, there are plenty here in Frisco and I certainly have no issue with them. My neighbors were from California until they moved back, the life long Texan that moved in after them was definately a bad trade.
Well since you clearly don't or don't care. Most of the "smog" around here is water vapor + coal fired electrical plant effluent from Mexico (jerks) + clay and other dusts from west Texas. About ten years ago the DMN ran a great article about all this.

And for a little comparison LA is in the top 5 in ozone and long terms particle and short term particle pollution. Dallas only makes the top ten in ozone.

Dude, you'll be happy to know that much of California is starting to swing to the more conservative side. We hippie liberals who want the best for people, not corporations, are getting pushed to the side.

Yea whatever. You hippies would starve if not for a thriving private sector. The private sector pays for everything at the end of the day.

LOL. Your comment is the biggest fraud ever. Corporations are people. Who do you think runs them!?! People decide the actions of a corporation, whether in the corporate office or in the board room.

The liberal mentality against business is what's causing companies to flee that state.

Yea that's why the smog tends to center around the areas with the most traffic, I don't buy your premise but keep on dreaming about how other people are to blame. Funny how the air seems to clear out toward palo pinto or sherman, did the coal fired plants from mexico only center on the immediate dfw area? Just curious.

Btw, many studies point towards our own coal fired plants in East Texas as well. I guess we might as well blame Houston while we're at it and not our own car exhaust.
