Should the Government take initiative in creating a eco friendly environment?

John D asked:


I know it also depends on individual effort, but compared to what the Govt can do what an individual does is like a drop in the ocean.

I think if there is a will, from the politicians there is certainly a way out of this eco – disaster.

For Example:
1. Govt can start by converting all its vehicles (Govt owned) to
a less polluting LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) fuel?
2. Convert all public transport vehicles (city buses) to a LNG.
3. Open new Nuclear plants (France relies more than 90% on nuclear power to supply all its enery needs!!!)
4. Allow businnesses and all other companies to encourage (with perks, tax deductions) for employees to
use public transport)
5. Build more Wind power towers all across the country

One answer can be money, where can the Govt get so much money, answer is instead of throwing the money down the drain in wars a fraction of it can
solve lot of the environmental issues in this country.

Please offer your comments and answers.
