I was listening to a guy of unknown credibility talking about sources of smog.
He said private automobiles were a minor source of smog. I don't remember most
of the specifics, but one of the things he said was that a single jet taking off
from LAX polluted more than all the Honda's in Los Angeles County. He also
commented about trains and trucks.
The difference being that the later groups are organized not easy to push
around. Do any of the more informed members of the list have information on any
studies like this?
Any comparison about the hundreds of pounds of lead in the typical electric
vehicles vs tailpipe emissions or a regular gasoline engine and natural gas?
Thanks,
