Shouldn’t There Be National Freeways Just for Electric Vehicles?

Electric vehicles are clean. Zero emissions to add to global warming. President Eisenhower began the federal interstate system for defense purposes. A modern President could justify construction of a few Interstate dedicated solely to the use of electric vehicles. Electric power lines for recharging would be embedded in the highways.

Global warming is truly a problem. Humanity puts 37 billion tons of Co2 into the atmosphere every year. Last year- 201, was the worst ever. Making sure that state-of-the-art electric vehicle technology is prioritized would help reduce the expansion of one of the most grave threats to human life; the fossil fuel powered vehicle.

Thee north-south and three east-west freeways designed for electric vehicles would get the new infrastructure started. The highways might be designed to have a high albedo reflecting sunlight back into space. The highways might also convert sunlight into electricity, and even superconductors in liquid hydrogen filled pipes might store electricity not being used.

Electric vehicles including self-driving cars and trucks, should have a system enabling the use of the best features of electric powered platforms including rapid acceleration and cool running high speed.

Both major US political parties present bad choices to voters. Democrats are lunatic globalist neo-treasonous, quasi-socialist queer developer feminists and Republicans appeal to an electorate that is supposed to be stupid as stone, ignorant hillbilly yippies that believe fossil fuel Co2 damage that anyone with a lick of sense knows to be a huge human-caused problem is a fiction made up by Democrats. So the choice voters have is between ignorance or stupidity and corruption. Americans can do better than that, and should. Building a few green highways for electric cars is practical and difficult to f..-up. for pork and odd political derivative spending.

Economic development can be intelligent and not use fossil fuels and greenhouse gases generally. That requires economic leadership rather than government spending, except where government spending on useful programs are just adapted to a purely green ergonomic foundation efficiently. The free market with some direction is the best tool for reforming the economic infrastructure of the United States. Build it and others will follow.
