Douglas... OT The battle for the dirtiest air goes back and forth between these two cities. I was born and raised here and I use my eyes not stats. Haven't seen the horizon in 10 years.But you also have to factor in geography. The 1st explorer to land in the valley in Cal. ( think it was Ponce De Leon , not a history buff ) noted in his journals that the air hung heavy with smoke from the natives fires. A Valley facing the ocean with onshore breezes and the mountains behind it causes the smoke or pollution to be trapped, we are flatlands , no geographical excuse other than industry. That is a tired old excuse that you can't have clean air, water and a good economy, we have progressed enough technologically to do it , especially since we are becoming more of a serviced based economy instead of industrial based, and as long as the plying field is level for everyone. BTW... You misspelled something in your post last night you said you worked for the Carter Admin, you must have meant George/Quayle Admin <G> Later ... P.S. You can call me BB since we are so tight <G>

Douglas... The timing of this was too good you wrote : To: BeachBum who wrote (74332) From: Douglas V. Fant Saturday, Sep 23, 2000 9:37 PM ET Reply # of 74406 Beach Bum, The dirtiest city air-wise in the US is still Los Angeles and total air pollution in California still dwarfs any other state. We just studied those statistics at a seminar Thursday in Houston as provided by a Region VI EPA Representative from Dallas.... Don't believe any propaganda from Tiberius "you-know-who"....Always check his sources whether he is talking about air pollution , the cost of his dog's supply of Loprin, or how he did not know that the event at the Buddhist Temple in Socal was a "fundraiser", heh-heh... Economic growth is good- It is the basis of a strong environmental policy. No economy, no money- No money , no ability to enforce environmental restrictions...And the more advanced and energy intensive a society, then the less per capita pollution output, strangley enough.... but economic growth is good. The mistake was to lose 100,000 trained oilfield workers in 1998-1999 and do nothing about that.... CHECK THIS OUT : This just came in my Houston Chronicle email addition it is dated 2 days ago but I just got it.I know it will cost more. Printer-friendly format Sept. 22, 2000, 8:34PM Oklahoma firm develops burner that reduces refinery emissions TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- A combustion system developed by an Oklahoma company can cut refinery emissions in half, according to the developer of the patented technology. Callidus Technologies said the system uses a blue flame that burns at a lower temperature. It reduces nitrogen oxide emissions to levels below 10 parts per million. the company said. "It's a significant breakthrough in technology," said Bill Bartlett, president of the Tulsa-based company. Callidus plans to market the system to oil refiners in the Houston area, which has been ordered to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 90 percent. Bartlett said a Houston refinery that he declined to identify will be the first to use the new system. The low nitrogen oxide burner should be ready for commercial operation early next year. The burner, built at Callidus' plant near Beggs, was designed to help the refining industry meet increasingly stringent environmental regulation, Bartlett said. "In order for the refiners to get into compliance, they have to reduce their (nitrogen oxide) emissions," he said. "The burner is one of the primary vehicles that will allow them to do that." Callidus worked six years to develop the Ultra Blue Burner, using money and resources from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Gas Research Institute and Boston-based Arthur D. Little Co. Return to top Callidus is he a dead ROMAN ? <G> BTW.. I saw what caused that post to be pulled, pretty sleazy using a little legal loophole. If I would have used a few asterisks it would have made it legal. Maybe I should use the FOIA to get the documents to prove that statement. Now I decided to stick around this is too much fun. BB ^-^-
