Ted, > The cost to subsidize cars is becoming too high. What are you talking about here? The cost to "subsidize" cars has never been too high. No one except the environmentalists are against highway construction and maintenance. Tenchusatsu

So you're really in favor of high speed rail to engineer our society and economy in a way most people don't want to go. Command and control of economies guided by government planners doesn't work - 100+ years of history prove that. Look at NK, Cuba. If and when driving gets too expensive (hey, I thought you liberals wanted us to go to electric cars anyway? not NO cars. now we know.) .... if/when driving gets too expensive then we figure something else out .... no reason we should till then. Subsidized cars? Fantasy used to justify a vision most people don't want. As evidence for what people want .... consider this article that even in our most liberal state, most people don't even carpool: Message 26632372 If our most liberal people won't carpool, they sure aren't going to all agree to ride the National People's Railway. What can't we afford anymore? We can't continue to afford liberal pipe dreams.

Moonbat Tech: Jump Rope Generator [ Our current lifestyle is untenable and high speed trains just aren't going to cut it. Of course, I think the giant hamster wheel idea is the best: youtube.com Posted by Van Helsing at June 21, 2010 8:30 AM With Comrade Obama all but declaring war on the oil and coal industries that make our cars go and the lights come on, it's a good thing that his fellow moonbats have the smarts to generate power by other means. The E Rope, for example: Besides being good for your flubber, skipping seems to be a good way for harnessing energy to recharge batteries. I know this idea is not so new; we have seen how jumping a rope can power a torch and juice batteries. However design is not only about problem solving, but also about refining existing solutions, hence the E Rope. As conventional energy sources are gradually crushed out of existence by our liberal rulers, new applications will be found for the E Rope. Imagine the power plants of our utopian future: rows and rows of public employees frantically jumping rope to keep the lights on in government buildings.
