The Great Smog of London in 1952 was a 4 day smog that potentially killed 12,000 people. [1] Today things are much better but living in pretty much any city around the world means that you will exposed to higher pollution. Reading the stats like below [2], it's always shocking to me that all politicians who live in cities aren't demanding change. " Worldwide ambient air pollution accounts for: 29% of all deaths and disease from lung cancer 17% of all deaths and disease from acute lower respiratory infection 24% of all deaths from stroke 25% of all deaths and disease from ischaemic heart disease 43% of all deaths and disease from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" It's good that developments like electric cars, trains etc, mean that power generation can be centralized. Since even a fuel burning plant is more efficient than a car's engine. And there's the ability to use things like wind, tidal, nuclear, geothermal generation.
