In the spirit of peakguy's post, I am talking about a revitalized train system that gets me from Denver to San Fransicco or San Diego or wherever and when I get there, I can take a bus or cab or light rail to get where I need to go. I am also talking about building the infrastructure to support this. Maybe that means we wouldn't spend 35 million dollars a week fighting a phony war on terrorism in Iraq.
Trains are very important in a post Peak future. How do you think we used to get around without cars and planes from city to city. Trains can run on anything: diesel, electric, coal and in the future perhaps hydrogen, . Improving our rail infrastructure is a critical investment in a post PO future.
