highways

Require that all medians in the U.S. which are capable of it, participate in Lady Bird Johnson's Highway Beautification program, or grow trees, or grow switchgrass. Trees are carbon sinks, and switchgrass can be harvested to use for ecofuels. We can't grow food in that space, because of the pollutants from passing cars. We could, however, use switchgrass for less polluting fuels in the first place. We could also add windmills, which could occupy the same space. Cars produce a LOT of wind.

Encourage the DOT to allow windmills along our highways. This will be close to existing power transmission lines and will be in an already "visually compromised" area.
