Many thanks to Francis Menton for allowing posting of his entire essays from his site “Manhattan Contrarian” as long as a link and attribution are included. The articles are always very insightful.
Here is an idea. Pick a city of 500,000 people. Turn the entire city green. Every product that will be part of the city cannot contain petroleum products. Infrastructure and transportation has to run on renewable energy. This must be done within two years of adopting the plan.
The city will be monitored for five years. This includes “climate.” If after five years the climate in the city changes, a city of 1,000,000 people will now be tried. And on and on.
Hope they freeze in the dark! They deserve everything they get. They are destroying this country and the world!
