How convenient--leaves out the following quote from the article:
This old steel town is a new boom town for natural gas drilling, and downwind of coal-fired power plants in Ohio and West Virigina. Virigina  Sure the coal-fired plants dont have any bearing on the particulates in Pittsburgh's air  Should have been here 50 years ago when it looked like a brown/orange haze over the city with the accompanying coke smell. Miss the old times.

Austin Suffering From Worst Smog Season Since 2006 - Environment Texas
New smog limits put Austin area at risk of U.S. penalties Texas is world's seventh biggest polluter - Telegraph Texas: Worst CO2 Emitter - The Daily Beast New Report: Seven Cities in Texas Rank Among Top Smoggiest Metropolitan Areas in the Country - Environment Texas Texas is biggest carbon polluter - USATODAY.com The headquarters state of America's oil industry spewed 670 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2003, enough that Texas would rank seventh in the world if it were its own country, according to the most recent figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The amount is more than that of California and Pennsylvania -- the second- and third-ranking states -- combined. A multitude of factors contribute to the carbon output, among them: Texas' 19 coal-burning power plants; a heavy concentration of refineries and chemical plants; a lack of mass transit; and a penchant among ranchers and urban cowboys alike for brawny, gas-guzzling trucks -- sometimes to haul things, but often just to look Texas tough.
