Friends! Countrymen! The solutions are legibly here for one and all on issues generally considered important. Posted individually and subject to future improving modification, they will be brought together in a new category named The Final Solution. Let us make haste, for diversion and Sophists have ruled the day—until now. Let the superciliousness begin!

Energy and Transportation: The Final Solution 

1. U.S. Government policies and priorities concerning Energy and Transportation will be based on the following: a family or individual having the option to walk or use public transportation for most of their daily activities between their common places of home, work, and shopping; and the reduction of unnecessary and excessive energy use and local, cleaner, forms of energy. Many corrections towards this policy shift, which follow below, will be implemented together at the same time in order to be successful.
    
2. Public transportation based on efficient and clean fuel technologies will be massively developed: heavy and light rail transportation, and shuttle and bus service. Especially invested in will be rail, due to its efficiency and pleasantness. Incentives and creative ideas will be exhaustively tested and implemented to make public transportation more palatable: vouchers for car rentals or public buses at the end of long rail distances traveled, making rail cars fun for kids and family friendly, etc.
    
3. The U.S. government will invest specially in transportation research and development to further the high quality, longevity, passenger needs and comfort, and financial and travel efficiency of transportation methods and devices, to be shared with local and state governments. Large towns and all cities will be required to produce a detailed plan and implementation of adequate public transportation infrastructure, and housing developments of more than 10 houses will be required to tie in with an active public transportation hub. Large public places attracting large numbers of people will have the same requirement.
    
4. Significantly higher taxes will be placed on petroleum based fuels for cars and trucks (to be spent directly on public transportation budgets). Higher luxury taxes will be placed on large passenger vehicles such as SUV's. By taxing fuels generally, people still preserve their ability to choose among a wide variety of vehicles, particularly among more fuel efficient vehicles.
    
5. U.S. produced biodiesel and ethanol will be immediately utilized within government vehicle fleets and promoted for commercial trucks, passenger vehicles, and home heating oil. Wind, solar, ocean power, geothermal, and other alternative energies will be constructed and further developed as part of this 4 year plan.
    
6. Dependence on foreign energy will be reduced to 25% or less of U.S. energy needs in 4 years. Middle Eastern, and other objectionable countries, sourced oil will be more quickly phased out. Car manufacturers, power plants, and large and small sea vessel manufacturers will be required to implement more fuel-efficient technologies on their products.
    
7. All commercial nuclear power plants will be phased out in 4 years and dismantled in favor of the production of cleaner and safer electrical generation. The cataclysmic consequences of an accident and long term waste hazards outweigh the benefits achieved. Furthermore, the nuclear industry has not shown consistent responsible management of such an incredibly dangerous technology.

The Green Party's more detailed Transportation and Energy Policies are reasonable and will be implemented.
