One, the air is never clean enough for greens. You just admitted air quality improved, but I think you still want to shut down coal plants. Two, the things they predicted in 1970 wouldn't have happened even if Nixon had vetoed the Clean Air Act.

Probably more evil illegals: nytimes.com <<The fire immediately evoked memories of the Cerro Grande fire in 2000, which devastated the town of Los Alamos and changed firefighting policies and strategies all across the West. That fire exploded into conflagration — destroying several hundred homes in Los Alamos — after a planned burn on a national monument site got out of control. In the aftermath of that blaze, in New Mexico and elsewhere, the United States Forest Service, along with communities and states, undertook efforts to encourage fire defense in vulnerable areas on the edges of wildlands, including thinning of trees and reduction of flammable materials in proximity to structures. Mr. Roark said laboratory managers had significantly altered the heavily wooded property after the 2000 fire, aiming to improve defensive fire tactics and reduce so-called fuel-loads of trees. “We have experience with wildfire,” he said, “and we feel very confident in our ability to protect lab materials and other resources.” >> HUH! They thinned trees and cleared brush??? One woulda thought they would just put up fences to keep illegals out! GEFAW!! DAK
