Reply #46: The whole PROBLEM IS: [View All]

Those fucking rolling battlestations that hockey moms feel so SAFE in, will cream any vehicle light enough to really work. They NEED to clear the roads of SUVS. Obama is talking now about a new upgraded electicity grid. We need to have Government run pickup and truck rental. So, you only need to have a small vehicle, and rent for vacations etc. These small cars could be full elec. Any long trips would be a mass trans and a rental. Gov. run rental non profit. Bullet trains for most jet travel. Zoning changes for split use in most towns. Green belts around the town for play and exersize,centralized stores with internet for specialty items. Retrofitting a whole society, and then franchising it, will be our best chance for relevance. As for jobs, for the purchasers of cars, we cannot continue to ship from china. We need to semi ignore europe, asia, and kiss and make up to ALL our enemies in central/south america, and make the entire length of chile to alaska a trade block, supplied with items from those living here. Building a middleclass the entire length is plenty of market for economy of scale. We could still trade, and the competition would be helpful. We no longer have to patrol the whole world. They will leave us alone, and our missles will make us still safe, when dissengaged from the area, relatively speaking. Beat our swords into plowshares. Use that spare military industrial complex for the franchising of our energy independence infrastructure. If I were king.
