Something must have happened since I left that area. I don’t recall their being an acid rain problem there, ever. I wonder where all this electric is going to be coming from to run the vehicles, gas powered furnaces et al.
PG&E - Pacific Gas & Electric. Soon to change to PE
Natural gas doesn’t cause acid rain. It’s the sulfur in other fuels particularly coal that cause acid rain.
The use of natural gas does not contribute significantly to smog formation, as it emits low levels of nitrogen oxides, and virtually no particulate matter
Volcanos make acid rain big time.
What they don’t talk about is how particulate in the air aids in the formation of all rain. A lack of sand storms in the Sahara can and have caused drought in India.
Particulate matter has a lot to do with our existence. A sharp geologist I know talks about how the earth was just a big rock and until various forms of erosion occurred and made, what he calls, rock flour, did we have soil for anything to grow.
This would matter if all of this were about the environment and climate, which of course, it is not.
