They should shut down parts of Houston for the same reason.

That's just a factor of the opacity. The real problem is what the pollution consists of, and at what concentrations it can be found. Many air toxics are invisible and odorless.

But if they concern themselves about the smog, won't I have to pay more for goodies from Walmart?

Isn't it hilarious that enviro-wackos work every day making it harder for American companies to do business in America, making it ever more likely that the business will move to China, where absolutely no fricks are given regarding the environment?

Times are changing. There are big pushes for China to clean up their act. Besides most "environmental wackos" are big advocates of buying local to limit things like this.

I'd love to "buy local". I'm just not willing to pay extra for it.

Like electric/hybrid cars? Learn about the processes for making the power cells for those cars.

Ok, I can't link b/c of web filter, but I just read that a Chines artist "vacuumed" up smog in Beijing for a long enough period of time that he was able to make a brick.
ETA: I can link a pic
Would this even be possible? I'm a bit skeptical...

I was more referring to other types goods. However, you do bring up a good point that current electric car technology is not nearly as green as people think. That being said, I believe that will improve especially as selling these cars becomes more profitable.

Right. After they have created rules, regulations, and laws which double, triple, quadruple and more, the cost of producing whatever the product may be. Kind of hard to lament the lack of a local option when you've wrecked the viability of the local option, unless you're a lib.

not all air particulates = smog
i would bet that a nice % of that "brick" consists of fungal colonies and other airborne particulates
