Politicians should enthusiastically embrace green initiatives especially because they typically mean new industries and good paying jobs in their districts. Plus, as I've stated in a previous posting on this blog, farmers and ranchers stand to make money hand over fist leasing parts of their land to solar and wind power projects. I say, Congress should pork up environmental projects and put taxpayer money to good use.M.

Their projected ethos is a turn-off to mainstream Americans. "Green" projects need to be marketed to politicians and the public alike as making good economic sense. Renewable energy is cheaper and cleaner than traditional sources and creates good-paying jobs. "Green" infrastructure is safer, more efficient, and often more aesthetically pleasing than 19th and 20th century relics. I'd rather ride that magnetic levitating train from Dulles to D.C. than deal with the antiquated diesel bus and 70's train marathon currently available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
