4. time to re invent the American economy

we can start making things to sell others again, and we need to start building rail infrastructure that the state owns for rapid transit.

We need to make the single occupant vehicle into a very expensive luxury, and make public transit universal. That alone would remake our economy and industrial base.

Green renewable energy, wind solar, geothermal, tides, we need the whole nine yards and we need it now. We need solar arrays on every unused surface in urbanities, and along highways.

We need another space race, only this time for sustainable energy, industry, housing, and agriculture.
