Lower Transportation Costs and a Return of America to Transportation Leadership

Upgrading the Eisenhower Interstate System to include solar, wind, and a rail corridor will create low cost, high speed transportation and generate enough energy to power every light vehicle in America saving the average American family $5000 annually.

The Eisenhower Interstate system directly created 850,000 jobs and is credited with generating over 13 million jobs indirectly through enhanced economic activity, reduced transport costs, and suburban expansion.  Our plan for the next generation transportation corridor will generate a similar number of jobs.

We will cover most of the 41,000 miles of the Eisenhower Interstate system with solar canopies and utilize the right of way to place windmills.  The system is expected to generate 1300 TWh/hrs of energy which is roughly one third of the electricity used by the country today.

We would utilize that energy to power a high speed rail system capable of traveling 250 mph, lowering the cost of domestic travel by as much as 60%.

Even after powering a rail system, the new transportation corridor would generate enough excess energy to power every light vehicle owned by American families meaning that fuel costs for families would essentially be zero into the future.
