Read other news. The state wants crappy roads. They are saying because of ozone levels, non-electric motor vehicle traffic has to be reduced. Why would the state encourage driving by having nice roads if that is their goal.
The State also doesn’t understand why concentration of ozone have increased the last two decades. It shouldn’t take any more than a half a brain (which obviously they don’t have) to figure out more people = more waste/consumption (heating, driving, toilets, landfills, etc) that will occur in an area.
Ironically I saw a study an something like 20% (it was a high number) of the energy consumption / pollution is coming from
Marijuana growing operations in Colorado.
