Virginian Liberal

Name:
Location: Poquoson, Virginia, United States

I'm a twice divorced white male, and I live in Virginia with my 11 year old son. I'm a born again Christian but rarely attend services because most churches do not fit my view of proper worship. Politically, my views are quite liberal, although I believe in principle with states' rights.

Environment

Programs which aim to develop efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally safe forms of industry, transportation, and energy should be explored and funded. Such funding should be provided to public and private institutions of higher learning to develop technologies and systems which help to protect the earth's natural resources. Funding in the form of meritorious awards should also be made available to private entities. Scientifically proven means of improving transportation and energy should be implemented whenever possible within the assets of the government. Private corporations that choose to adopt such measures can be eligible for certain exemptions from taxation. Harsh penalties, including criminial, should be imposed on anyone who unreasonably wastes natural resources or causes harm to the environment.
