This seems very positive but it's nice to see that Mr. Kwon is also highlighting the growing need to upgrade our nation's infrastructure.

Cool, but what about the waterways?

[Caspar Krug]

It is not only the growing population, as the movie points out, that our transportation system is so out dated. It is the fact that our government refuses to invest in new technology and fails to repair, update and replace trains, bridges etc.

It can be done then people realize that the two parties in our government are not competent to deal with such problems. The majority of Americans are not participating in elections any more. If the rest of us will do the same things might change.

Unfortunately transportation in America is not advancing anywhere, it's all about keeping the old stuff running. Utilizing renewable energy still costs too much and requires huge investments, keeping ROI extremely low or non existing... it's for billboards only

Whatever you're babbling about wacky.

I was extremely disappointed to hear Mr. Kwan continue to perpetuate the myth that Edison had anything to do with the electrification of this country. He invented the incandescent light bulb and that is it. If Edison would have had his way there would be a coal fired DC power station every square mile across the country. The alternating courrent technology that powers this country was invented and developed by Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse with financial backing by JP Morgan. Look it up.

Waste of energy, waste of time, bought and paid for with credit the bankruptcy of America and the rest of the world. Happening right now under your noses.

I can't wait to watch it!
