Phil Seymour hit the nail on the head the other day when he compared his attempts to walk to lunch in Germany (successfully) and in the United States (unsuccessfully).
If we continue to design our communities in such ways as to make autos the ONLY viable option of getting around, we're going to pay lots of $$$.
In my community, some very tiny percentage of road money is supposed to go to bike paths. But they never use the funds, because "no one rides bikes". Of course, they don't. There aren't any bike paths!
As far as Ethanol, you can't argue with what's going on in Brazil. But since there doesn't seem to be much money in it for established industries, it won't fly in the US.
Welcome to the official media outlet of M.I.R.T.H., a world-renowned think tank whose mission is explaining the world's complicated issues in a language that everyone can easily understand - the language of common sense. The Institute is named in honor Paul Morphy , native New Orleanian and perhaps the greatest chess player in history. Coincidentally, all M.I.R.T.H. Faculty members are direct descendents of Mr. Morphy.
