Mass transit works in a concentrated space like NYC
or Boston, but I wouldn't work, for example, in Birmingham, Alabama, which is
spread out all over the place. From my limited experience in Des Moines, I
think it would be difficult to use mass transit there, as well. For
example, I had to go to some meetings at Farm Bureau. On that road the
businesses are not close to each other, they are set far back from the
road...

Any way to get more efficient
autos is probably a good idea. But a better way would be to put all that
government money to work building mass transit. The article states that the
IAGS plan is keen on "plug-in" vehicles that charge their batteries from
standard electrical outlets. This would only switch the source of pollution
from tail pipes to smoke stacks. Both Honda and Toyota hybrid vehicles use
regenerative energy from braking to charge their batteries and thus never need
to be plugged in. Jerry Neff - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
