It seems logical to follow their examples.<br /><br />President Obama is trying to do just that, but is facing significant opposition from the right-wing conservatives. Some, such as the Governor of Florida, even REFUSED to accept the funding to begin work on a high-speed railroad. This funding would have created thousands of jobs - and in the long run - would have saved billions of dollars (since we would need that much less imported oil). The ignorance is astounding.<br /><br />But, on a posistive note, President Obama is determined to head in the direction of sustainable energy. We are seeing electric vehicles on the road now. We are seeing charging stations being installed. Slowly, but surely we are making the transition ... well, at least until the conservatives are in power again.David and Harukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882003463835973551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324499732486444601.post-66891386321675446362011-03-08T16:21:38.727+11:002011-03-08T16:21:38.727+11:00great - will you run for NSW ? or have we given up...great - will you run for NSW ? or have we given up on politics. At least we could get a real carbon neutral incentive onto the bikes so the figures stack up more realistic to what the bikes saving the earth.... <br />but even that is now being debated yet again. <br /><br />coz we need desperately new ideas. Even I commute with the advantage of bus lanes -- they are now FULL of buses queuing up ... not much sense ... a rail, hop on off or so much better.... and with the Zero - would be great... <br />cheers<br />TomManlytomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441994073877645133noreply@blogger.com
