Burning the Midnight Oil for a Brawny Recovery

The Steel Interstate proposal is an effort to build Rapid Electric
Freight Rail Tollways across the country ~ east to west and north to
south ~ to:
* Take a substantial slice our of our oil imports
* Insure our national economy and national defense against disruptions
of our oil supply
* Increase the productivity of our manufacturing and logistics
sectors,
* Overcome decades of neglect of our national electricity transmission
infrastructure, and
* Protect our legacy investment in our Interstate Highway system from
the battering it receives at the hands of long haul trucks.

The point of the Steel Interstate system is that it *is* a system: it
consists of several parts that work together to give more bang for the
buck than any one could provide on its own.
