Planning Communities for a Changing Climate--Smart Growth, Public Demand and Private Opportunity - Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - 2008-06-18 - With fuel prices at an all-time high, a housing market gone sour, and heightened concerns about global warming, smart urban and rural community planning can help all three by reducing the miles traveled in vehicles, improving infrastructure and establishing economically strong communities. On Wednesday June 18th, the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a hearing titled, "Planning Communities for a Changing Climate--Smart Growth, Public Demand and Private Opportunity." The committee explored examples of better development practices happening here in a tornado-ravaged Kansas town and on the sands of Abu Dhabi in the Middle East. WITNESS LIST: Dr. Sultan Al-Jaber, CEO, Masdar Initiative, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Steve Hewitt, City Administrator, Greensburg, Kansas ; Gregory Cohen, President and CEO, American Highway Users Alliance; David Goldberg, Director of Communications, Smart Growth America; Steve Winkleman, Transportation Director, Center for Clean Air Policy.

Screw these busy bodies. They need to read and understand the limitations of government enumerated in the Constitution.

Global Warming is a Code Phrase for the meaning of "Civil Uprising." This language allows open discussion by governing bodies, so that implementation measures can be taken to construct facilities that will dissuade further protests. Namely, Detention Areas.

Good video, i have been thinking about "smart growth communities" myself.
I live in europe where most of its lifetime has been Capitalist.(until the world wars)
I have also engineered systems that are highly energy efficient, and re-uses all the wastes we produce.
A combination of communities and internet communication, we can build the human race into a new era, an era forward into the future.
Contact me if you wish, i would like to work on this project!
