The governors of Washington, California and Idaho are taking a bold stride to begin to ween ourselves from the current gasoline infrastructure. A proposed plan along the 1,382 miles of the west coast I-5 corridor would create a “green freeway” utilizing rest stops as refueling stations for alternative-fuel vehicles.

Profits that exceed the gross domestic product of all but 16 of the worlds nations. With windfall profits like that why not ask [...] In a drastic 180 President Obama has reversed the Bush administration policy preventing individual states like California and Washington from implementing more stringent emissions standards to fight greenhouse gas emissions.
