Smoke Stacks are gone

OK many hippies hated industry and the smoke stack belching out acrid black smoke that fouled the air. Smile, cause I got some good news. The smoke stacks are gone. In fact, so is most of our heavy industry and companies. Sadly, so are our jobs that we depend on.

Hippies never figured out the we cannot have an ecotopia were everything runs on solar energy. Folks we need industry and the jobs it provides, but few want to live near a factory that produces odors and noise.
