EP. You're out of control here. Take #8.Europe has a great train system, I know, I've been on it. We can't do that here? Of course the infrastructure is insufficient -- we've been living the "American Dream" one person one car for so long... what in hell are you talking about? Last mile problem? Why is that solved in Europe but we can't do the same? Blade Runner? Great movie....

Urban densities are much higher in Europe. That makes mass transit much more
viable. Unusually high density American cities tend to have semi-viable mass-transit
also (eg San Francisco where I live).

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.
