I applaud you for tackling this difficult environmental issue and writing about it so eloquently. Had you been elected... oh, wait, you were, and I voted for you... I feel confident we'd be heading in a much better direction. It is rather discouraging to me that my governor drives a fleet of Hummers and that I share the roads every day with a large number of oversized SUV's. It seems like very few people take global warming seriously. The challenge, and perhaps the key, is to reach these people. The non-believers. Our political leaders should not only set guidelines, they should lead by example. Can you picture Mr. Bush or Mr. Schwarzenegger driving a Toyota Prius? Me neither. A stretch Hummer limo (if such an atrocity exists)? Sadly, yes.
