  rebuilding New Orleans

  " along with at least an equal number of community leaders of New Orleans and the surrounding region"

  That may be first time I've heard anyone actually including the residents in post-Katrina reconstruction. I always thought it should be the first thing you do -ask the people affected what they would like!

  Some case for geo green

  "So let's reduce our dependence on oil. And let's push for reform in the Middle East. But let's not fool ourselves that the former is a substitute for the latter."

  True, but we probably can't reform the Middle East until we reduce our dependence on oil. I agree reducing our consumption won't affect the supply and demand. Our concern for stability in the Middle East at any cost is due to our economic dependence on the oil from that area.  If we weren't dependent on that oil, then the despots could be overthrown at the risk of civil war if necessary.On Just plain "green" for me, thanks posted 4 years, 8 months ago 1 Response
