Congratulations on your recent election. I do hope you and your staff have all fastened their seat belts, and are all ready for the ride of your lives ... smile.
Thank you so much for providing this opportunity to gather input from the American people. It continues to strengthen my confidence that this administration, will indeed, be able to muster the creativity required to steer us through the next decade.
My most important suggestion for the energy and environment policy team is to watch the video "The End of Suburbia."
It is both facinating and well done. It introduces the concept of "Peak Oil" and "Climate Change" in a very clear manner, and provides an overarching context within which to evaluate our energy and environmental policies. It is what people call a "must see." Shifting to renewables is critical and will end up being very profitable for those industries who actively participate. But, we need to understand that in an ever growing global population, the United States will need to figure out how to keep our quality of life while using less energy. A very doable task considering the numerous successful existing examples we can use as models.
If I can in any way be of further service in policy issues of sustainable development, urban planning, or creating the "America 2020 Vision," please contact me.
In Service,
