Brookings weighs in on '08

The always interesting Brookings Institution is weighing in on a variety of subjects that the candidates ought to be talking about this presidential election season. Among its many position papers is one to rebuild Middle America (the geographic middle, not political), and includes some good ideas on sustainability, particularly on the "North Coast," along the Great Lakes:
While other regions face long-term sustainability challenges from lack of water,
congestion, costs of infrastructure, sprawl, and risk of natural disaster,
the country’s "North Coast," with proper policy actions now, offers the
prospect of environmentally and financially sustainable commercial and
population growth.
By the way, if you get the chance, you should set up your own portfolio at the Web site. You can choose the categories you want to study and add articles to your portfolio, without filling up your own computer.
