Earth Day Blowout Extravaganza!

It's our Ronald Reagan 2 for 1 special! Now, not only can you enjoy Earth Day with this gem from the Gipper:

"Trains are not any more energy efficient than the average automobile, with both getting about 48 passenger miles to the gallon."
-Ronald Reagan, quoted in the Chicago Tribune, May 10, 1980. (The U.S. Department of Transportation calculates that a 14-car train traveling at 80 miles per hour gets 400 passenger miles to the gallon. A 1980 auto carrying an average of 2.2 people gets 42.6 passenger miles to the gallon.)


But we're also dusting off this long lost classic, just in time for your Earth Day celebration!

"Growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen." -Ronald Reagan, quoted in the Los Angeles Times, October 9, 1980. (According to Dr. Michael Oppenheimer of the Environmental Defense Fund, industrial sources are responsible for at least 65 percent and possibly as much as 90 percent of the oxides of nitrogen in the U.S.)

Thanks to Cowboys And Idiots: The Ronald Reagan Presidency.
