The first part of the broadcast is of interest relative to Illinois energy issues, etc., and the brownfield issues in and around Syracuse. Governor George Pataki wants a quarter of New York State's electricity to come from renewable sources by the year 2013.. Is that possible -- and where will the power come from?
The second part concerns common issues on revitalization of urban areas, issues of sprawl, and reasons for re-populating "downtowns". How can aging towns remake themselves for the better, while protecting or improving air, water, and living conditions for the people who live there?
I'm slowly re-reading Jane Jacob's "Death and Life of Great American Cities". The above Science Friday discussions echo a lot of her themes and memes.
