[RTC List] Bringing Delta Airlines to the Eureka/Arcata Airport

[Bob Peterson]

At the risk of further politicizing a thread that's already too political, I 
feel compelled to contrast the two distinct types of thinking presented to 
us here. On  one side we're presented with rational, evidence-based critical 
thinking by energy and transportation experts. The other side relies on an 
almost evangelical faith in the unregulated market forces that have given us 
the recent disasters in the energy, health care and banking sectors, all of 
which pose a greater danger to the US, indeed to the world economies than 
would a little minimization, regulation and conservation.

Regards, Bob Peterson
