ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR VERMONT
by Peter Moss

To Governor Jim Douglas:

Perhaps you remember me. At a Republican meeting last year, I asked for your advice in running against Patrick Leahy. You recommended fast running shoes. I believe I can do better than that. But first, some suggestions that may help Vermont. Media accounts say you are interested in economic development and job growth. My first suggestion is to create an accelerated transition to hydrogen from fossil fuels and nukes. People who have the mechanical skills to build the Fairbanks scales in St. Johnsbury could certainly build kits to convert automobiles and trucks to dual fuel: hydrogen/gasoline. BMW has such cars on the road and has the technology and nobody in the world is doing conversion kits now. Details are in my enclosed essay: EOLECTRICITY = ECONOMY + EMPLOYMENT + ENVIRONMENT. A second unique business opportunity is to grow tourism by attracting civil union tourism. For details I enclose: CIVIL UNIONS, NOT JUST CHURCH BELLS. Lastly, globalization is a nice name for exporting high wage jobs to low wage countries. If elected, I will introduce legislation to impose a tax to make imports of goods made by globalization 20% less profitable than U.S. made goods, as explained in my enclosed FULL EMPLOYMENT ACT, NOT LAYOFFS. If you think my suggestions have merit, please support my candidacy with the Vermont GOP elders. Patrick Leahy is not going to introduce my kind of public interest legislation until long after hell has frozen over. Vermont and you and I can't wait that long.
