is the place to start. I'm not the first to bring this up, but the rebuilding of the gulf coast should be a national project to build a green area there. All new housing to take advantage of new tech. and meet enviromental standreds ahead of todays. Also we know how to build coal to gas plants that are enviromentally friendly, and cost productive. I was involved in building one in Pgh. 30 years ago, as an electrician. Start a crash program to use and invest in solar panels, wind and other altenative tech. Don't be so afraid of nuclear, we can use it safely to get to better things. We also have to convince the big corporations that there are huge profits to be made in those new fields, and the average repub. that though we are liberals, we are right about this.
