9. I don't know of a better plan. I just think that the scaling
of the project is off. If done properly, this would be bigger than the New Deal. This should cost trillions of dollars, and the numbers I saw from Kerry supporters were talking about 10 B's here and 5 there. This sounds like more of a way of creating jobs than actually solving the problem.

Think about how huge this would be- all new cars/engines, factory retoolings. It'd be an enormous undertaking.

Anyway, I'd love to see him do it. The size and cost of a project like it scares most folks off, so the president that actually does it will probably go down in history as the most important president we've ever had. I'm just not sure that anyone will ever have the gall to take it on, on it's proper scale.

Hell, go for it, Kerry. I'd love to see him do it.
