After hearing part of Obama's Saturday radio address where talked
about the massive infrastructure rebuilding he will put in place,
I'm wondering what USMA is doing to push for launching a metrication
program for the USA along the lines followed in Australia (and
likely with consultation from Australian experts like Pat Naughtin)
so that the infrastructure work can be done in metric and integrated
into that metrication work.

Dear Ezra,
Thanks for your kind thoughts. You might be interested in a letter I
sent to the Obama/Biden Energy and Environment Policy Team who are
planning for the transition to government after their inauguration on
January 20. You will find a copy of my letter at http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/ObamaEnergyPower.pdf
If you want to see it in the context of another suggestion that I have
made for the Obama/Biden transition, you need to go to http://www.metricationmatters.com/articles
and read the second article. It is immediately below the Energy and
Environment article referred to above.
Cheers,
