Traffic Stuff
Folks are blaming traffic for air quality problems here in Knoxvegas:
The cars and trucks choking Knoxville area roads caused health problems costing nearly $80 million in 2001, according to a study released last week by a transportation reform group.
And there are of course health problems associated with accidents. I say the bulk of these problems could be curbed a bit if you could actually get from one end of Knoxville to the other. The horrendous amounts of construction make that impossible. I wonder what portion of these contaminates are the result of cars sitting on the interstates for hours idling.
And, as Bubba has pointed out repeatedly, TVA does far more damage to our air quality than automobiles.
Update: Unsurprisingly, Bubba has more!
