That certainly *would* be a problem. But I'll tell you, the level the
air quality gets down to sometimes here in Minneapolis, with no
mountains and pretty regular prevailing winds to move it along, is
quite bad enough; I really *don't* want to know what it would be like
without catalytic converters and electronic fuel injection and oxygen
sensors on cars, and scrubbers on power stations and such.

Problem is, as you stated, all than and you STILL have pollution. I'll bet
your emmissions examinations exempt the worst sources (they do here in
Arizona). Thing is, it's easier to BS a few bureaucrats than a couple
million free-market consumers.
