  15. Scouts snarl I-75 project Land sale to developer angers Butler leaders By Janice Morse Enquirer staff writer LIBERTY TWP. - One of the biggest road projects in Butler County - the $30 million Liberty interchange at Interstate 75 and Ohio 129 - has hit a major and unexpected snag. A Girl Scout council stunned Butler County leaders by voting to sell a key land parcel to a housing developer instead of doing a long-planned land swap with the county - a decision that will delay the interchange construction, said John Fonner, project coordinator. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050819/NEWS01/508190390

    And a continued rise in demand from developing contries (China etc). and an increase in the sheer numbers of autos. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/aer/pdf/perspectives.pdf Image Below: See Fig 31, gallons used per vehicle holding steady or dropping, although nudging up a little at the end of the figure. We all know that the number of miles driven is rising (Fig 32), so MPG mst be getting better (Fig 33) On the surface, it would look like its all the SUV's - but look whos using all the gas and increasing the most in those figures - Trucking - maybe if we shift some freight to rail, we can put the biggest dent in our usage
