I am an engineer whose entire professional career has been focused upon eliminating air pollution. I lived and worked in Southern California for 30 years including working with SCAQMD to eliminate pollution.
When I moved from California to Charleston, West Virginia, I developed asthma. Asthma is common here due to the coal dust that padding trucks and trains disperse unregulated
I’m an advocate today, given the growing threat of the Anthropogenic Climate Change Crisis, that we must now demand ZERO emissions. And we must accelerate the transition to the job creating opportunities of renewable energies.
