Jim Bacon commented in response to our post “ENERGY INDEPENDENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY:”
“The prospect of Brazilians achieving “energy independence” at the expense of accelerating the clear cutting of the Amazonian rain forest is something that should chill us all.”
He is right of course, but if that is chilling, how about today’s WaPo?
On the front page:
“Canada Pays Environmentally for U.S. Oil Thirst.”
“N.Va Delegates Plan Hail Mary to Fix Roads”
And in Metro Section:
“Intercounty Connector Get Final Approval”
More roads so more people can drive more cars farther and faster and nothing about Fundamental Change is human settlement pattern to make transport more efficient or cut the number of vehicle trips necessary to secure a quality life.
Public transport policy is something that should really chill us all.
