The second bridge has already been approved for study by the TPB Long Range Plan Task Force. Insist on taking away other reasonable options and you leave the second bridge as the only remaining viable option. So stupid.

It's not on the project list: https://www.mwcog.org/documents/2017/12/20/long-range-plan-task-force-reports-projects-regional-transportation-priorities-plan-scenario-planning-tpb/

Also,

1. Maryland owns the river.
2. Any plan would spend decades in court, testing the limits of conservation and agricultural easements.

Way to go, Montgomery County. Just don’t complain too loudly as more jobs keep being added across the Potomac and you slide into economic irrelevancy.

Yup. They’ve made it clear that they want to school quality, housing prices and economic vibrancy if PG County and they are doing everything they can to achieve it.

Electric cars don't run on unicorn dust. Unicorn dust also doesn't build roads or power road maintenance. If you've been thinking that electric cars will solve the climate change problem, you should stop thinking that.

Your response proves you are an idiot child. You clearly know nothing about electric cars, nor about the future of distributed generation, which is funny because you pretend to be a know it all.

Distributed generation is great, but electric cars still aren't going to solve the climate change problem.

What do you think the climate change problem is exactly? You don’t know what the grid emissions are nor do you seem to have a clue what the equivalent GHG emissions are for an electric car over current ICE tech. Before you think you want to engage on an issue that you think you know something, you better think again. Nothing worse than the aggressively ignorant.

Are GHG emissions lower for electric cars than internal-combustion engines? Sure. But GHG emissions for other modes of transportation are lower still. Electric cars aren't going to solve the climate change problem.

NP. Are you actually arguing that if all cars were suddenly switched to electric this would solve climate change?

You are probably the same person but also clearly have no clue what you are talking about. I love you people, internet experts. Out of your depth and absolutely hilarious.

Instead of insults, why don't you try responding with your actual thoughts on electric cars and climate change?

It's clear none of these people need to drive any significant distance to work. FWIW, I take metro, but DH has to drive (we live in MD, he works in NoVA) and the traffic is insane. IIRC the expansion of 495 really only went to the 270 interchange anyway, right?
