Detroit used to have a cloud hanging over it as you neared the city. 1973 time frame.
Obviously a pollution cloud. Air is much better today due to smog reduction.

"California will be first". Agree.

Same deal for their water issues. Grand Canyon is drying up.

Talk of piping water from the Great Lakes to California. Not going to happen.

Lots of people bailing on California to the Midwest or to places like Idaho.

We did a bunch of testing with Hydrogen Fuel in California. Issue is Hydrogen is very
hard to store. Fill up a tanker truck with Hydrogen. In a week the Hydrogen in the tank
will be gone as the stuff cannot be trapped for any period of time like conventional fuels.

Figure out the hydrogen fuel storage problem and you have massive amounts of fuel for
IC engines. Easier to go "all electric".

Just saying, nas t eh.
