AQMD failure: Board meeting Mar 7, Tape 1

Air Quality Management District diddles with (worthy though it is, not amounting to squat compared to refineries) lawnmower exchange programs and with hospital diesel generators (they're FOR them) instead of confronting Big Oil, refineries, and auto emissions, the biggest single controllable pollution source, land, water and air.

AQMD ignores the idea, presented to them, of requiring hospitals to use BATTERY BACKUP and SOLAR ROOFTOP POWER instead of expensive grid electric and diesel backup.

Members of the South Coast AQMD:

Chair: Burke, Dr. William A. (Candidate of the Speaker of the Assembly)

Vice Chair: Wilson, Dr. S. Roy Riverside County
Antonovich, Michael D. Los Angeles County
Cacciotti, Michael Cities of Los Angeles County, Eastern Region
Campbell, Bill Orange County
Carney, Jane W. Senate Rules Committee
Loveridge, Ronald O. Cities of Riverside County
Lyou, Dr. Joseph K. Governor of California
Ovitt, Gary San Bernardino County
Perry, Jan City of Los Angeles
Pulido, Miguel Cities of Orange County
Reyes Uranga, Tonia Cities of Los Angeles County, Western Region
Yates, Dennis Cities of San Bernardino County

Really? how much was it! I was looking at a natural gas generator for roughly 2-3k. I would then get UPS on some things like computer, and tv for the sub-minute that it would take to kick on.

I have a battery backup that can power my home for roughly 42 hours and its instant!
