Bay Area Spare the Air alert issued for Monday due to smoke(Liars)

A Spare the Air alert is in effect for the Bay Area on Monday. That means wood burning is banned for a full 24 hours.

Those who ignore the order must either take a “wood smoke awareness course” or pay a $100 fine. Second-time offenses are met with a $500 ticket and that amount increases with each subsequent violation.

On Sunday, air quality in most of the Bay Area was good, though it was moderate in San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley in the morning due to fine particle pollution. By early evening, most of the North Bay had moderate air quality while the East Bay and San Francisco had returned to the good zone.

If nobody is going to work how can this be?................

Now what am I going to do with all those wood burning kits I bought for the homeless in San Francisco?

I thought it might be a good way for them to earn a few bucks.

Maybe they can trade them for some meth.

About 15 months ago, I acquired some new neighbors who moved here (Seattle area) from Oregon. They are liberals, as evidenced by their "We believe . . . " sign in their front yard. But they are the most frequent wood burners I've ever seen, probably using their fireplace or wood stove 200 or more days a year, even during warm weather.

One report shows good air now, and one based on yesterday’s forecast for today was/is bad air.

Good air now!

I live in San Jose and am thinking about burning a tire or two. After all, it’s wood I’m not allowed to burn right?

“wood smoke awareness course”

You’ve GOT to be kidding me.

So they cut off natural gas.
Now it’s wood.
And you’re left with electric which is subject to brownout/blackout.
Thankfully the area is temperate climate.

When Biden/Harris starts this stuff in the Midwest it’s gonna hurt in winter time.
