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.
William B. Lynch
Los Angeles
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.
