Didn't appear that way to me, Tim. Neither does your "question".
I didn't see either of you testifying at the Capitol yesterday to the "Road to the Future" committee. I came in late, and managed to be the last person who testified. I told them my concern was that they would over investigate in highway expansion some more. I said them if they keep adding more highway capacity, it won't be used because environmental conditions in particular, due to global warming and air quality, will force us all to greatly reduce our driving levels. I didn't tell them people shouldn't own cars; rather, what is important is that they limit their driving to a minimum. It is the driving of them that is creating all the environmental and human health impacts, not merely that they own them. I told them I've been saying this since 1999, when the state finalized it's 2020 highway plan (but only as a individual), since I was reassigned from reviewing state highway plans back then, and was prohibited from talking about global warming on my job or face further disciplinary actions if I did. I told them environmental conditions relating to the climate warming and air quality degradation due to fuel burning, the largest share coming from motorized transportation in the U.S., including Wisconsin, would force us all to change our lifestyles, so that we should rely on our legs, bicycles and mass transit more, and cars and airplanes less. I concluded we shouldn't use roads for solely for more motor vehicles, but needed to invest more in bicycle paths and mass transit, that the "Road to the Future" should not involve more roads. Did anyone else here testify at the hearing and care to share what they said or have any information about what was said in the other testimonies?
