Keeping my insurance rates low since 2006.
Dear Secretary Jackson,
We own a Prius that gets around 50 miles per gallon. I know the Honda Insight got 70 miles per gallon in 2003 or before because we featured those two cars at our huge EarthFest we held at our church in Devon, PA for Earth Day in 2003. We had about two thousand people attend to learn about Sustainability in all areas of life.
The technology is there for cars to get 100 or more MPG. It's time to make these cars available for all.
I was just in D.C.this Tues and Wednesday, riding the Metro and seeing the masses of people that all need transportation. I hope you have creative thinkers...artists...design experts..that think beyond what we now see to provide us with a way to move all the masses more efficiently.
I remember when a group of people (a Council of Governments) in Maryland, Virginia and D.C. got together in the 70's to create a master plan for the area and to develop the wonderful Metro system now in place.
If we humans survive the next 100 years we actually need to think way beyond our automobile based society.
Besides iimmediately providing generous bike lanes and people friendly shuttle busses in cities that are free of automobiles.....we must also rethink towns and suburbs that provide town centers for easy walking and more sustainability as your own New Jersey Town..."Sustainable Lawrence".
Best wishes for a very successful term as our EPA Director. What an exciting time to make a difference!!!!

PS. I attended the hearing that Senator Boxer had in the Dirkson Building with three world famous scientists who wqrned that we MUST do something to curb global climate change by the year 2015.
The fourth "scientist" from Princeton allowed as how the IPCC scientists are putting out hysterical propoganda. Senator Boxer replied that she found that he had received $1 Million from Exxon Mobile for his "research".

This #HQHolden ute was photographed early at the United Motorsport Society t last weekend, before the rows filled out and before the light went harsh. You can see it in the shadows on the ground and the shape in the sky. That short window where everything still has depth.
This ute has lived a few different lives. Originally something very different, later converted to LPG at one point, then reworked again before finally landing where it is now. You can see that history, I think this is its final form.
The paint is consistent across every panel, including the underside of the bonnet. No mismatched tones, no corners cut. Bonnet hinges and hardware are finished properly, and the bay itself is tidy without being sterile. A carbureted V8 sits centrally with a large chrome air cleaner. Red ignition leads are routed cleanly, not draped. Brake booster and master cylinder are chrome and mounted neatly on the firewall. Wiring and hoses are clipped and trimmed with intent.
Inside, the cabin stays functional. A sports steering wheel and a prominent tacho dominate the driver’s view. Nothing ornamental, nothing unnecessary. It’s set up to be driven.
Editing on this set was deliberate. Blacks were pushed to bring the ute forward and let the sky do some of the heavy lifting. The aim wasn’t to soften anything, but to give the car weight and presence in the frame. Low angles were chosen to suit the stance and the proportions. This ute doesn’t need exaggeration.
A selection of prints from this set will be available via PicFair.

Being repaired at the time of visit. This Washtec Prevo system was installed in September 2022, unusual to see one in an open air bay.
