- LETTERS, Page 6Clearing L.A.'s Smog

- We long-suffering Angelenos had a right to expect more from
- our public servants than that piece of foolishness adopted by
- the south coast air-quality-management district (ENVIRONMENT,
- March 27). The 5,500-page plan is surrealistic: a 70% cut in
- smog-producing emissions by the year 2000 and electric cars by
- 2020. It would be remarkable if we could achieve these goals.

- With 20 million-plus autos belching fumes into the air of
- California, it's about time we tried to solve the problem of
- air pollution. However, it might be easier to reverse the course
- of the sun than switch over to relatively clean methanol or
- electric cars. But what if it worked? You could see the sky! You
- could breathe the air again! And with electric autos you could
- even hear the birds.
