I think that's because GE a american company has moved to China, isn't it? GE is a good prorail company. That's why I love em. But I don't like them buidling things overseas. In trains it's been GE vs GM for years. Watch a" streetcar named denial " right on youtube.

@gritpod Remember the trillion dollars ayear in oil imports from the mideast. They buy such nice things with the money right? If you can take the train do it. Trains can haul humdreds of people a mile on a gallon of fuel. Work to get rid of dangerous crossings that make drivers wait for the new 3 mile long trains. This money is in the High Speed Rail program. Finally pay off debt, stop chargeing everything. The banks and oil companys are not all american owned anymore.

We need jobs.. not more taxes on goods.
But you make some good points.

@intercityrailpal You should know Amtrak has been breaking ridership records for 6 years now. I don't know how, with poor service and sold out trains. You drive a smelly diesel. Amtrak gets 500 passenger miles per gallon with their diesels. What are you getting ONE? Just you in the truck, right? 500 people hauled one mile and your getting ONE PER MILE! I think we need a $10 tax on gas to pay for the wars and road work of the private highway lobby.

Who wants to keep spending a trillion dollars ayear on imported oil? $45 oil, with the TA TA Car on the market soon in the US! Humdred's of millions new drivers in China and India. Amtrak was set up because the private tax paying railroads were forced out of the business by government roads and airports with taxes on train tickets. The final blow was the highway lobby getting the mail put on trucks. 20 car trains were replaced by 50 trucks,fuel tanks and 50 drivers!

thanks for your response. yes we live in debt. and now everyone's saving are going to be inflated into nothingness. So those who saved will be penelized for saving and the bankers will be covered.
The bankers get their money for peanuts, and jack up the cost . it is usuery.. and who are these federal reserve guys anyway?

Wind power currently costs between $.03 and $.06 per KW after federal tax credits of $.017 for the first ten years.
Wind doesn't always blow, so you still need reliable, predictable sources of power to be able to meet demand.
It's not as simple as you make it out to be.
But I like your thinking, nonetheless.

The winds is always blowing somewhere. that is why we need to increase the capacity of the grid which means jobs,jobs, jobs.
