re: How would you improve Portland?
I guess the supply and use of energy resources will be my subject.
I mentioned the idea that the oil will run out. I read somewhere,...on some website...that the feds ran a scenario, like a war game, only about the oil supply under stress. Seems everything went to hell pretty much straight away.
My idea would be to start a push here in river city, to come up with a plan, and maybe some action.
So, I recommended the city try to help maintain farmland beyond the city limits. The citizens will want to eat when it becomes to expensive to freight the stuff here from Chile, Florida, or even California. There's one idea.
I think we need to look at what kind of transportation will remain after gas hits $5.00 a gallon. Will many of us have jobs that will make cars affordable at that price?
I'm just saying, the city council could entertain a discussion. I think the citizens would appreciate that.
Thanks again for the opportunities to speak up.
