Ethanol and biodiesel drain the world food supply and have their own pollution; hydrogen backers claim "it only emits water" as though there's no way for water to be a pollutant. To truly make a dent in global warming, we must revive our mass transit system and make all our cities as transit-dependent as New York.

The GP's governing board is obviously able to work together to produce detailed/specific, straightforward and meaty policy statements and prescriptions. In contrast, the Libertarian party's governing board _just recently_ was able to pass a simple resolution condemning the war in Iraq and calling for removal of U.S. troops. Talk about a day late and dollar short!!! As a candidate for the LNC, I would like to see (and will work to see) that body form several issue-oriented committees to work with interested Party members throughout the country to draft policy statements such as these (in strength and scope, not in content of course).

I would only add a national zero-emission, high-speed maglev rail system for freight and travel, as Mike Gravel has suggested. Amtrak is a worldwide joke; we need to resuscitate our rail system or die in the choke of interstate gridlock. **The only thing missing is applying all the top secret, hyper-advanced UFO technology to create infrastructure to save and advance society. ****I was recently reading how Barry Goldwater was apparently very interested and curious about the existence of UFO's. If we ever lifted the shroud of government secrecy, I wouldn't be so surprised: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_goldwater#Interest_in_UFOs Now THAT is the type of environmental policy I can get behind!
