For example, here in Iowa City (and our sister city, Coralville) we spend something approaching $18 million annually on the bus system.

I don't believe anyone here has argued in favor of unfettered industrial
waste. You appear to be. The bottom line is this: If we've been unable to build new refineries because we made them a regulatory nightmare, it's time to ratchet the regulations back a notch or three. That's not the measure of the worth of regulation. Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Put the vehicles on rails, power them with electricity, and define the route. Amazing how folks will build along the route to take advantage of the easily available transportation.

But if no pollution is allowed, we'd be in real trouble. Even the smoke from a
campfire is pollution. True. Breathing causes pollution too. But that's not the point. Reasonable limits must be placed on pollution through external means (such as "onerous legislative barriers") because big business has no incentive not to pollute, and us little folks have little or no recourse against them should they decide (within the law) to foul our nest while they feather theirs.

Ot might be different in the big metros like NY/DC or LA (IIRC there is a train connecting cities along the cost) - I've never been to the really big metros; but the areas where I've been I never saw business-like dressed people waiting or boarding a bus.
