California Central Valley Smog Problem

I think everybody would agree smog is bad and that something needs to done about it. However, breaking the back of the little guy isn't the way to do it. Enter the air quality control folks. There solution to the bad air in the central valley is to punish the little guy for using his fire place. While big time farmers are burning their lands so they can plant crops. The almond growers burn branches and other plant by products too. These materials could be recycled instead of burning but because they have money which equals power the air quality people ignore them and instead focus on the little guy. They patrol the streets looking for people using their fireplaces and encourage others to report you like your some kind of criminal. This is especially hideous when oil company's and PG&E are sticking it too you for using natural gas or heating oil. The air quality folks need to force the farmers to recycle instead of burning their waste and they need to enforce stricter air quality regulations on cities like San Francisco who is polluting our air because the winds blow their smog into our valley. Maybe after addressing the problem with logic and common sense we will finally see our air quality improve instead of cowing to special interest.
