The only way for Obama and for business

Obama’s decision on smog rule offers hints on environmental strategy - The Washington Post: "In some ways, the ozone regulation was easier to jettison than others, because it will come up for review again in 2013 and other air-quality rules could achieve some of the same outcomes. Key industries had made powerful economic arguments against it, warning the White House that they might not open new facilities out of concern that the standards would block their operating permits."

The broad outline of a move toward car-free and new settlement construction outlined here and in my Beyond Pattern Language blog are the only way that both business and Obama can escape the straitjacket of doom betokened by continued allegiance to compromises over the creation of unhealthy air. The minute Obama mentions car free he is toast, but that is the underlying global solution and the sooner we spread that word the sooner we will have discourse environment that favors a rational solution to pollution.
