The Vanscycle wind facility will be coming online early next year near Walla Walla. It will provide 300 megawatts of power. Three more such facilities would offset the small amount of power that these salmon-killing dams produce. We can have salmon and fishing communities and farming communities. Hurrah for people's rights to their own property and being able to make a living feeding the people of America.

The truth is the two major indexes cited by the source, the Texas Transportation Institute, said that Seattle was 3rd on the rush-hour traffic congestion ranking and 5th in the congestion burden ranking.

Yeah, our traffic is bad and we need to work on it, but let's not sensationalize it.
