This is excellent, and I think the article I submitted to the Guardian would add an intriguing element as well. I think it will be in the fall release, but essentially it’s looking at the fire occurrences that have increased since this program began, along with the skyrocketing total losses, due to heat. After sitting down with a family member who worked for years as an engineer for an American automaker, with first hand knowledge of the systems, I have gained knowledge that there is a known issue, what I can’t find YET is why it hasn’t been corrected. I think the costs associated from the additional risk, to life, property, and environment layered with your very clear and convincing stance on the overall program, should demand that the government holistically look at its impact. It’s a failure.

Thank you, ma'am. This doesn't even cover bee-related issues. I didn't think anyone would focus on that, but with me already knee-deep in the DOW surface transportation threats, that's more where I felt the average person would be focused. Let me know when it's out.
