I used to dream of high speed rail doting the American landscape. Satellite solar power stations orbiting the globe. The proverbial “jet pack” vision of the future where mankind accelerates into the future embracing new and sustainable technology. I had those dreams and vision almost 30 years ago. Here we are 30 years later and we’ve barely made a dent in attaining those dreams. Our system of transportation and way of living remains much as it did 30 ago.
