GM CEO calls for $1 gas tax hike
That's the kind of thinking that lead to them having to be bailed out the first time. Maybe it's time for this country to start investing in high speed rail.

Maybe it's time for this country to start investing in high speed rail. Was reading about federal spending on high speed rail in my monthly Popular Science (thanks Steve Dave) it showed plans for cross country routes and more regional routes that would be on line by 2030. I think it showed the average speed for these passenger trains to be around 130 mph.
That would be a good start.
I've changed my mind, I'm all for high speed rail . . . the biggest concern is, can just this once, the government pull off a project of this size without their being a big GAO report at some point about all the waste, fraud and abuse??

If these trains aren't doing at least 250 MPH, it will be a total waste of money. 130 MPH can GTFOOMF
OPEC's quarterly meeting was widely watched by analysts. The cartel had been under intense pressure to raise production as oil prices approached $120 a barrel last month.But cartel members were unable to reach a decision to do that, with at least three members reportedly holding steadfast against any production increase. OPEC ministers said they'll take another three months before considering any increase in oil output, according to CNN.

A $1 gas tax hike would be a great idea. We need to save the oil now so we can still fly in airplanes in 100 years. I hope Colorado gets a N/S and E/W rail line soon, but not sure about connecting a place this remote with the rest of the country. That's why we'll need jets.
