I think the article cited and the idea raised here are right on track. 
Conservationists need to exert some leadership here. This will have huge 
positive economic impacts down the line despite objections from some 
special interest groups.

My experience with the Governors office is that they need informed input 
(if not pressure) from conservationists and environmental groups.  These 
groups also need to support the DNR and DEQ and monitor the political 
pressures on them.  These list serves provide excellent venues for getting 
the information out, but that should be the beginning, not the end.  Many 
state and local groups need to get involved.
