The argument falls apart when you remember how different they are, but yeah. |

I'm in favor of coal power, but there needs to be strict regulations in place that require coal power plants to have strong filtration systems for any exhaust they create. kind of like modern cars. pollution is very real. the smog example seventh mentioned earlier is a prime example. |

I almost wouldn't mind the layman critique on mainstream science if it was grounded in any sort of real argument, but that's never the case. You press them to justify why they think toxic fuel sources are less-harmful than research shows, and the explanation always just boils down to, "lol, it's just what I think, I guess." --- Quote from: Corderlain on March 30, 2017, 03:05:47 PM ---You're telling me during the most carefree pollution period in history a smog only lasted a few days before weather changed and hasn't happened in the US since? --- End quote --- It 'lasted a few days' and killed approximately 12,000 people. To put that in perspective, you're minimizing the impact of a disaster that killed 4x more people than 9/11. Also, similar disasters have happened in the US (although none at the same degree as the London smog, obviously). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Donora_smog Killed 20, sickened 7000.

Still don't think with modern filtration systems and increased dependence on wind, solar, and nuclear power that this is a large issue. --- Quote from: Darryl McKoy on March 30, 2017, 03:07:39 PM ---Yes the great smog of london was a serious issue for the US. Comprehension on point. --- End quote --- Fat fingered when typing UK. At work and in a hurry so didn't notice. |

It will save them a ton of money |
