Global warming is the price we've paid for not building a nuclear power plant in the US for 35 years.

Nice going.

Ironic, huh?

Note it's all the red-necky places that are the worst offenders.

erasmus,
They say Cheyenne has the cleanest air, but they also tell us because it's so dry and windy here with high altitude that it's hard on asthmatics. My wife is always griping about how quickly the house gets dusty.

I think the reason the air is so "clean" here is because with all of our wind, the air changes over every 2 or 3 minutes.

If you cut down on pollition per capita,good

but if the worlds per capita increases every

year its a loseing fight yiou can't win.

That is actually funny, your state is one of the dirtiest but your city is the cleanest.

Considering where you live, you should!:)

Coal vs oil; if we ran light rail for passengers and ground rail for goods transport, it'd still be less polluting than (how many millions of) automobiles belching expended gas into the atmosphere.

We could run this country so much more effectively, if people gave it a chance. Ground rail hasn't been abandoned, and we're even seeing ads on TV. And I've seen more light rail outlets appear, albeit slowly.

I feel so dirty.
