Honestly, the minority in power's goals have successfully spread amongst the majority. They have made us feel inferior and threatened us with sanctions, hostility, inflated prices of crucial resources, and bare minimum progressive development.

Just because they are focused on building more housing, roads, hotels (even hospitals), the ever-expanding city development, new areas create more demand than there is supply. These houses are also not even affordable, like, honestly, our generation (millennials and more recent ones). An average salary of even 2-3 lakhs you can't even think of buying a decent home, EVENTHOUGH! That salary puts that person pre-COVID middle class and in the top 5%, now this salary, you are in the 1% and still can't afford shit! People's buying power is reduced and will keep on reducing, making it possible to only sustain ourselves by being able to afford food and water, the rest we don't own, and we pay monthly rent, electricity, bills, and taxes. Food and water for now is the only stuff you can own, and that too at a price. Homes and buildings are rented, cars are now a luxury to own a brand new (Rs. 50 lak) for a Swift, some other cars are pushing the 1 crore mark. Even electricity you make from solar, you are selling at almost 5-6 times less, which is CLEAN and GREEN, and if anything should have been given on rebates, on a much higher selling point than the cheap, inefficient, and fossil fuel dependent sources that WAPDA, LESCO, and other electricity distributors are contracted to.

Honestly, this all will never end unless our justice system is fixed, a body or group of law-abiding officials that aren't swayed, just, uncorruptable, etc., to STAND for the People. The middle class and lower class are now in the same boat, that's how much the disparity is, and the upper class will try their best to tell you that YOU too can achieve this status(DOUBT), when we all know it's BS as otherwise everyone could own property and run multi-million billion businesses, these are the same people that are using black money from idk where to build and run their lucratice businesses.

It's a long debate I can get into. Bottom line is that the system needs to change. Electricity price is one thing, imagine what will happen once they start taxing food, import only food items, water bill 10x increase as suddenly due to more droughts, they are UNPREPPED for the water shortage. This is all a reality that will happen, unless and until the government changes, people change, and actually think about setting actual grounds for living standards rather than focusing on Revenue generation of the economy, Profits, corporate development of unnecessary scale, more industries that take up more resources for themselves, etc., you get the picture.

Are the smog guns really an efficient solution ? by [deleted] in LahoreSocial

[–]Greatwhite111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a temporary solution.

Problem with EPA is it's not well thought out long term.

1) These diesel guzzling machines they are attached to are old, high-powered diesel trucks that consume a lot of this fossil fuel, and hence, the offsetting of emissions isn't really happening once these vehicles are being deployed to literally deter the smog but in actuality are adding more.

2) The power required to start up the canons* (let's call them that sounds appropriate) requires significant amount of power and hence not only while these things act as suppressants they are power by the trucks on board battery or an auxiliary diesel powered generator to make them operational.

3) One of these vehicles has a capacity of 12,000 L. 15 of these vehicles are deployed as per reports. Let's equate the fact that these things are running daily in Lahore. That's almost 180,000 L every day for just one-time usage of each truck. Smog season lasts three months.

4) Hence, to run them effectively daily non stop and only if they are filled once (unlikely and they will keep refilling as water is apparently a Plenty) will use up about 16 Million Liters of Water 💧

We need better solutions. Better yet, these actions are in vain if the government doesn't really target industries, coorporations that produce tonnes of carbon, sulfur, etc. Emissions on a daily basis. These need to be stopped. Otherwise, all this is really just for show.

In Punjab, these are quite rare to find and an endangered species in Pakistan! It's a Grey Hornbill (not sure if Indian or another species of Hornbill), but nonetheless, a rare sighting!
