I live on a dead end road so there's not a lot of traffic. It has made me evaluate how practical it would be to use horses to graze on interstate, where there are wide medians and big loops for on and off ramps. It would obviously be disastrous if an animal got into interstate traffic, but probably 10% of the areas that I've looked at around here would be practical. It makes more sense In areas where there are trees because horses will rise up on their hind legs and eat all the leaves that they can reach, clearing areas much more effortlessly than mowing crews.
If the price of gas were to jump up and stay up for a while, I believe we'd see this kind of thinking in areas serious about saving money. As long as the goal is to save the planet, nobody will see this as a solution.
