I'm in my mid 40's. Having lived most of my life now in South Florida, the only stuff I recall people burning for "heat" was some cars and local businesses :)

LOL!
What really amazes me about all this is, people don't talk about how clean America is today compared to the '70's.
We used to dump refuse directly into our water sources, septic systems consisted of a 50 gallon drum and several lengths of clay pipe to drain off the gray water directly onto the ground. We burned like I said, high sulfur coal for heat and power generation and tailpipe exhausts were dumping high concentrations of lead and other pollutants.
Hell, I remember as a kid in the '70's, not being able to eat the fish I caught in the Ohio River and later on in Lake Washington, in the Seattle area I moved to in the late '70's. Now, the water is pristine compared to then.
We must start using logic instead of emotion when dealing with issues like this.
