President Obama Announces 54.5 MPG Fuel Efficiency Standard
President Obama announced an agreement with thirteen major automakers to track the next phase in the Administration's national vehicle program, inc...
I hope the President also has a new, dedicated funding stream for the Highway Trust Fund as this mpg fuel efficiency standard will render it completely insolvent. While he's at it, the President could also propose to the automakers to tap into the passenger rail industry and add to their automoti...

All this coming at a time when sustainability is at critical risk to our future. Instead of a comprehensive transp...

He felt connected to the spirit of all things -the sun, water, waves, wind, seagull! This is the meaning of life: to become conscious and realize its awesome ...
