California's Air
California is like a wildlife refuge for Greens and eco-terrorists. It is a state in which the mere rumor of a sighting of a mythological reptile can stop construction of human infrastructure (like airports). It is a state which has banned oil exploration and new drilling (I bet you didn't know California had oil, did you?), put a stop to building nuclear power plants, and has vast windmill farms that provide less than 2% of California's power needs.
Yes, the federal government has given us the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. But that isn't enough for California, which felt compelled to pass the California Environmental Quality Act, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the California Endangered Species Act, the Forest Practices Act, the California Coastal Act and a plethora of Fish and Game streambed alteration requirements.
You would think that a such a Paragon of Leftists Environmental Behavior would be one of the cleanest, most natural places on Earth. And you would be wrong.
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (or US PIRG as they like to be called) is a radical left-wing environmental watchdog organization. You would think that such a group would look kindly towards California, like a displaced immigrant looks fondly towards his motherland (or fatherland, or homeland). Yet this bunch of kooks organization has done a study of the nation's metropolitan areas called "Danger in the Air: Unhealthy Levels of Smog in 2002" which ranked each area according to the highest number of days of unhealthy air pollution levels from 2000 to 2002.
The top five cities are all in California. Quick geography lesson: Houston is not in California.
