It is moally wrong to continue spewing hydrocarbons into the air regardless of what globing warming side you're on. Yet Walker and his road building buddies just want to keep expanding the "freeways". Expansion of "freeways" does not lead to less traffic congestion. In fact, it creates more.
In so many ways, freeways are not free.
No doubt, every child inflicted with athma pays the price every time he/she breathes.
No doubt, our lungs are not clean! Our soot laden brochi tubes are prime candidates for accelerated aging and diminished lung capacity. Adults who are active outdoors pay a very high proce for breathing this soot. The more you exercise outdoors on ozone alert days the higher the price you pay for our "freeway".
