The premise is this: our nation, in its search for ways to stimulate the economy, foster more efficient and effective systems of transportation, and gradually yet systematically remove ourselves from dependence on an oil based-industrial revolution style lifestyle, is simply going about it the wrong way. My solution is elegant in its simplicity, effective merely by its application, and perfectly timed for $3 a gallon gasoline. We need to return to an economy where both product and people are moved not by automobile, but by railroad.
Over the course of several posts, I'm going to outline how we can do it, why we should do it and what you can do to help get it done. Disclaimer: post will not be consecutive and may be over take several weeks (I have other shit to do, you know). Plus, it's not like this is going to happen anytime soon (I may be optimistic, but I'm no fool).
So, now is the time to start thinking "trains," and literally, we just may get this thing rolling...
