Can some rocket scientist explain how lowering speed limits will lower air pollution? What am I missing?

You are correct. It won't reduce pollution at all - not one whit. I live here. This is so stupid. I have been to TNRCC EPA meetings/protests and argued this with the "experts" from the government.

I think it is all about making Texas look bad when Bush was running for president against Gore. They claimed we had worse pollution here than in LA. I used to live in LA - this is much cleaner air here - in LA the air was BROWN most of the year! It is almost always clear here, seldom smoggy, almost never! Most of the particulants in the air come from grass fires and not from cars!

COUNTER PRODUCTIVE IS RIGHT. It is all about collecting the SPEEDING TICKET fines! You should see the two pages of SIPS/new regulations they are putting on us. I was hoping Bush would throw them all out!!!!

We plan to get a really nice radar detector for our Porsche for Xmas. Did you ever try to drive Porsche 55 MPH???? You step on the gas and that darn thing goes 100 MPH!!!! Yeee Hawww Off to radio shack to look at radar detectors!!!
