LOL. Of course New Jersey doesn’t make the list

[Clemenza]

Not surprised to see LA bringing up the rear. The area around the river within radius of Baton Rouge is absolutely disgusting.

[jacknhoo]

They should do cities, rather than states.

[al_c]

California is 6th best?! I call BS on that.

[EvilCapitalist]

47. Delaware. Of course Delaware is polluted. Joe lives there.

[rktman]

Guess I need to leave the truck idling in the driveway some more if we want to beat out Louisiana. 🤔 “WE CAN DO THIS”

[FlingWingFlyer]

And everybody knows U.S. News and Third World Reports isn’t just another far left commie rag. This is BS. Somebody been hittin’ their “medical” happy smoke stash.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

So Louisiana is 50th worst, in other words the best air in the nation? Somebody wasn’t thinking when they wrote that.

Delaware is #47. Too bad they didn’t have anybody influential in politics who could have cleaned that up. Maybe a Senator? Or a VP? Or maybe even a President?

I forgot. That guy got cancer from that dirty Delaware air.

Nevada ranks as the second-most polluted state...Melissa Ramos, manager of the Nevada ALA’s Clean Air Advocacy, said the Classic Car loophole was partly to blame for the state’s high emissions...Some tightening of the laws on classic vehicles is coming Jan. 1, 2023.

Yeah, "classic" cars are to blame (what a freaking idiot).

What is Brandon doing to classic cars in 2023? Is he going to have them all crushed next year? Is "classic" anything with an ICE engine?

Yay, Idaho -- the #10 least polluted state.

Clear, clean mountain and lake air!

The biggest source of air pollution in North Idaho these days is forest fires from surrounding states and Canada. Idaho does a GREAT job of getting on forest fires when they are small. The lakes and wide rivers near us always have lots of Air Tractor - AT-802F FIRE BOSS firefighting aircraft scooping up water (up to 14,000 gallons per hour) to attack fires. We had a blessedly smoke-free summer up until a few days ago. The wet and cold spring kept the fires down.

The pollution article links to the overall US News rankings where Idaho is #5. Conservatives are always welcome to visit or live here!

[Zathras]

OR, UT, NV and TX?
Fake news to the max.

Never saw any air pollution in OR, UT or NV and TX is probably limited to oil producing cities.

[Rurudyne]

I’d be more interested in the States least polluted by Left wing Woke ideology.

[pas]

Why would you include including economics, education and health care with pollution and then claim it is all about polution?

[Bonemaker]

Totally meaningless and agenda driven. Air quality across the country is magnificent except for small concentrated areas of heavy industry (such as is left remaining in the country) and/or otherwise intrinsically filthy metro areas run by democrats. And as if “classic cars” are a pollution problem!

[ComputerGuy]

I would have guessed LA is the most-polluted state. I went to grad school there in the late seventies. NOLA drinking water contained over fifteen known carcinogens. Both Jax and Dixie beers were made with that water, which was barely-treated Mississippi River water.

[VTenigma]

All the states where actual stuff is made.

[fso301]

At that time, Melissa Ramos, manager of the Nevada ALA’s Clean Air Advocacy, said the Classic Car loophole was partly to blame for the state’s high emissions.

Sheer nonsense. There are not enough antique cars to have any impact on air quality.

[Robert DeLong]

Louisiana is not full of pollution. Southern states get hit with hurricanes that create most of the debris.

[Deplorable American1776]

Delaware is #47... Is it because of the BS spewing from BIDEN? 🤓

[Watershed]

If Nevada gets rid of Gov. Sissypants, it should move up the list quite a bit.
