As an expert on breathing in Houston, I concur.

Q, the Texas regulatory agency this past week adopted some almost Draconian measures for the Houston area to improve the air quality. Subject to the approval by EPA, they will greatly reduce emissions in the Houston area

Quehubo007, IMO that is just propaganda. Texas's environmental agency the TNRCC follows the UK offshore environmental model which is very avant garde. That is have a basic set of rules- and then like the UK, allow the regulated community the freedom to propose actions which will accrue equivalent or greater pollution reductions. Honestly I represent clients throughout the southwest, and Texas has the more effective environmental approach than California's regulators IMO.... And indeed Texas has removed millions of tons of air pollution from the Ship Channel and then also the Beaumont-Orange-Port Arthur complex just 80 miles east of Houston. But make no mistake- The whole area is a massive industrial complex. Only perhaps Singapore or Rotterdam rival it in size....
