Climate Change Root Cause: Unconstitutional Federal Highways Making Unwalkable Cities

Restore liberty to inovate walkable cities

Transportation has always been the catalyst for changing energy systems. In history people: *Paddled boats, then built water wheels. Sailed boats, then built windmills. *Rode horses, then harnessed them to plows. *Railroads in the 1860s burned every tree near their tracks then tuned their engines to burn coal and oil. That industrialized the shift from biofuels (hay and wood) to fossil fuels. Railroads triggered the extraction industry's scaling to commercial viability from $500 a barrel in current dollars to affordable. *JPods networks cut transportation costs by 10X. This cost savings supports deploying ~1 megawatt of collectors per mile of guideway to gather ~40-60,000 vehicle-miles of power per mile of guideway per typical day (4-5 megawatt-hours). This creates massive demand for collector manufacturing, microgrids, and many storage alternatives. It also makes JPods networks durable against oil supply irregularities by being solar-powered transportation networks and breaking a century of regulatory barriers triggered the building of the Physical Internet®.
