Many affluent people in Colorado believe that their personal freedom in terms of the "right" to drive when and where they want is significantly more important than the environmental stewardship and sustainability of the incredible Colorado high country. 

 

Their selfish (greedy) mobility and so called "economic development" interest in maintaining the status quo of highway expansion as their only means of transportation freedom is jeopardizing Colorado's natural environment and the ability of future generations to enjoy it.

 

Highway expansion results in the irretrievable consumption, exploitation and destruction of our natural resources and environment. 

 

Unanticipated consequences of highway expansion such as Global Warming, worldwide terrorism incidents and escalating political conflicts fueled by shrinking oil supplies, will not only eliminate personal freedoms for future generations, but possibly jeopardize the future of the Human Race.

 

The vast number of Americans disapprove of the war in Iraq, and yet our elected policy makers continue to support automobile and oil dependent land use and transportation initiatives that make our presence in not just Iraq, but throughout the Middle East a necessity.

How can such political behavior from both sides of the aisle be considered leadership?

 

Escalating world conflicts over our shrinking oil and gas supplies, global climate change, world peak oil production, auto-oriented sprawl, arterial congestion, drought, decreasing water supplies and increasing water and air pollution are significant and detrimental consequences of highway expansion nation wide. 

 

Our political leaders need to learn how to just say no to roadway expansion instead of business as usual.
