Re: No More Dependence on Foreign Oil- Coming to Your Neighborhood Soon

Hello Ed,


3. Make passenger car rail transport cost effective and convenient for long trips.

Yes. You buy a ticket to x destination. When you arrive
there, a greenie supplies you with a car. It's convenient,
because you don't have to drive your car onto the train.
It costs less, because there is no need for moving the
car - it stays at the owner's home. Lower energy cost,
and no need for special trains that can move autos.


A rental car? Then the spending lobby will have the same glorious idea that you can see at work at airports like PHX: "Let's sock it to the non-locals". This, that and the other fee and sure enough the effective tax rate for that car rental is going to be somewhere between 50% and 100%.

Regards, Joerg
