"Twin Cities business executives said Thursday that an extra $750 million a year must be spent on road and transit improvements over the next 15 years to preserve the state's quality of life and business climate." http://www.startribune.com/stories/1557/4997713.html
I believe the Twin Cities business executives are wrong about that. An extra $750 million a year on road and transit over the next 15 years would damage, not preserve, the state's quality of life and business climate. Instead, I think the money should be used for financial incentives to conserve fuel now! ... described in a strategic plan for Wisconsin at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClimateArchive/message/229 Would the Twin Cities business executives support California's air regulators stringent rules to reduce auto emissions? I don't think so, do you? See excerpt from an article in today's Minneapolis StarTrib, below. "California air regulators Friday unanimously approved the world's most stringent rules to reduce auto emissions that contribute to global warming -- a move that could affect car and truck buyers from coast to coast." http://www.startribune.com/stories/484/4999612.html Pat Neuman Chanhassen, MN http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Paleontology_and_Climate_Articles/ ________________________________________________________________ Get your name as your email address.
