As the airline industry in America is rapidly dying, isn't it time to...

[Heralda]

...invest in public railroad transport? It has been reported that the cost of fuel has forced Delta and Northwest airlines to merge in an effort to save both failing companies. A lot of the areas served by these airlines have no railroad system. Why not? Pretty soon, it will be too expensive to drive to these places. (If the boring drive doesn't send you to sleep). Why isn't there a better railroad system for the whole of the country?
Drilling in Alsaka will only supply America with around one year's supply of oil at the current rate of consumption. Hardly worth it.

Britan has an extensive rail system that is very popular and they are not a communist country. Neither are all the other European countries with impressive public transport systems, like France, Germany and Sweden, the Swedes working towards having an oil independant economy by 2020.

It is not anti- American to suggest that providing rail transport for it's citizens is a good idea considering that the price of fuel will NEVER come down now that we have passed Peak Oil.

Saudi Arabia isn't refusing to increase production, it simply CAN'T. Get used to it.
