risks of fossil fuels
Re. “Leaded gasoline lowered IQ of half of People, research says,” March 8:
Bruce Lanphear’s assertion haunts me: “The extra tragic half is that we maintain making the identical … errors once more … And it retains happening and on.” At the same time as analysis paperwork the far-reaching dangerous results of lead, others are discovering that inhaling wildfire smoke may really alter our DNA. Lead could also be gone however particulate air pollution continues, particularly after wildfires made worse by local weather change.
And but we nonetheless needlessly depend upon fossil fuels, despite the fact that they pollute the air we breathe, are primarily chargeable for world warming, and, as current occasions tragically confirmed, put us on the mercy of oil-producing despots.
The identical errors, certainly. Possibly all that lead dumbed us down.

Putin’s true crime is
homicide of Ukrainians
Re. “Biden in Poland fires up U.S. allies,” Web page A1, March 27:
Why is it that nobody reporting on Ukraine will get to the true concern – that Vladimir Putin is a assassin?

to offset Russian oil
We appear to be in a fossil gasoline warfare as outlined on the March 25 opinion web page (“Biden, Dems ought to say we’re in a fossil gasoline warfare,” Web page A7). Vladimir Putin is little doubt funding the warfare on Ukraine by promoting fossil fuels at a less expensive value than different nations. Since these nations are unwilling to decrease their costs, the USA and NATO may at the least supply to subsidize the distinction, in order that there is no such thing as a want to purchase from Russia.
After all, the earlier we will construct the infrastructure to get away from fossil fuels totally, the higher off we are going to all be.

scale back supply days

The primary substitute order of fifty,000 autos solely consists of 10,000 electrical vehicles. That might be as a result of excessive price of putting in electrical car charging infrastructure at each submit workplace.
However the extra necessary level, in a world of e-mail, direct deposit, on-line greetings and computerized invoice cost, is whether or not we actually want to interchange all of the 140,000 postal autos constructed between 1987 to 1994. One wonders if any of us would miss receiving our typical mixture of mail if we moved to a three-day-a-week supply schedule.
