I know I sound like a nag saying it but is it really so hard to spell check articles - spelling mistakes don't make gothy sound all that bright. I hope that was what Hamilton actually said and not just that the author didn't check "closlely" or "cearly" enough.

Nice article, but I wish the reporter had focused more on the fact that New York is already much more energy efficient than the rest of the country (thanks to the fact that we drive so little and that our small and tightly-packed apartments are cheap to heat). Here's a great article that gets into it a little more: GREEN MANHATTAN Why New York is the greenest city in the U.S. By David Owen Published in The New Yorker 10/18/04

couldn't they have just switched the street signs to energy efficient "walk/don't walk," signs instead of instituting the illiterate, white plains syle of pictograph signs?
