I've been lurking for YEARS, but this subject has pulled me out of the shadows. I will probably slink back into the shadows after this comment though.
This whole fuel cost issue has pushed a nationwide pay cut on EVERYONE. I understand that we have had it good for all these years but the rate at which this is hitting us is too much too fast. I've been thinking "green" for a long time. I have not owned a gas mower in over 12 years. We as a nation ARE cutting back. Our government has NOT been cutting back. I work for the US Postal Service and Wallyman can vouch for what I am about to say. The USPS has built a "state of the art" facility in Pontiac Michigan and I have to say that it is NOT "state of the CURRENT art". This building is NOT green in any sense of the word. We have a high tech lighting system that can cut back output on any or all of the lights on the workroom floor but there are NO skylights to let outside light in so the "high tech" lighting system is going to be run on HIGH ALL THE TIME. We are a 24/7 operation. There are so many other things that are not green but this lighting system stands out in my mind. I will make any cut I must to help out the collective, BUT, MY government better start FIRST. There is no excuse for any new federal facility construction that is as NON-green as the building I now work in. Thank you fellow Miatapower seekers for reading my rant. I want to get back to the simple pleasure of tweaking my little street legal gokart and not worry if I can afford to get to work. Carlton
