Mom remembers when her children couldn't breathe

I remember growing up in Warren OH, when Auto and Steel were still king in Northeastern Oh. During the winter the snow would fall but would never be white it always had black soot in it. Until the starting closing the factories (moving to the southern US) and the remaining ones and the Electric companies were required to put scrubbers on the exhaust of whatever they pumped into the air. then the snow stayed white longer.
I know a lot of you remember LA smog that was so horrible during the 70's. But I guess those regulations where hasty also and needed to be thought out more even though they have worked. They would probably still be studying them!

The EPA is becoming the EDA (Environmental Destruction Agency) which wants the US to look like China with its yellow air.

Sure the states can make their own regulation but, without the Federal backing of those laws won't mean anything multi-state companies and they will ignore and litigate the hell out them.
