5. We need a national railroad project, similar to Ike's national highway system...
and of similar scale, to create an exclusively passenger oriented high speed continental railroad system for electric trains. And that would only be the first step, of course, combine it with light rail and bus systems near cities, and many other projects that would be needed to help us use less net energy to transport ourselves than we do now.
