Reducing power plant emissions is not enough.
The California Plan is bunk. Trading emissions is nothing more than a 
handout to administrators.

The automobile is the chief culprit. Global warming, peak oil, and noise 
pollution are three great reasons to relocalize our economies and make goods 
and services available within walking distance for all. To do this, we need 
to change the way that resources are allocated to and within communities. I 
have a plan for that. You can find it at:

It's concise.

Workin for peace and cooperation,

Mike Morin
