For a breather, leap onto the outdoor deck for a change of pace - inhale the still, January air and appreciate the luminous Potomac aglow under a dimmed night...
...since 1977. "We could cut that electricity bill 40% with photovoltaic facilities," he says. There are also funds for green transit, like buses that run on natural and propane gases, hybrid systems or batteries, and money to build a more efficient system of loading and unloading shipping cargo directly onto train tracks, as is already done on the Yucat?n Peninsula in Mexico and in Mobile...
