We need to curtail our consumption as well. And since transportation is our primary use for petroleum, passenger rail transport in our most densely populated regions is an obvious part of the solution.

Most of our densely populated inner city regions already have subways and elevated trains. Their passengers mugging/rape/murder victims enjoy the convenience and tender ministrations of their enthusiastic fellow riders. I guess that mission is accomplished. Your work is done, Willie.

A few years ago, John Kerry lobbied unsuccessfully for a tax on gasoline. He said the purpose of this tax was to change public behavior, specifically to discourage the use of motor vehicles and encourage mass transit. Would you support a two dollar per gallon tax on gasoline if the revenue supported your precious trains?

I really don't expect an answer. You've ran out of intelligible arguments to support your ideas and, as usual, turned to Alinsky insults and misdirection. Pitch a fit like you always do when called out as the liberal you are. It won't make a difference. Everyone can see you are a socialist. You claim to be a conservative, but your philosophies are in line with the Progressive/Socialist-Libs who struggle to destroy our freedom.

Also what I’m seeing is that more companies are moving away from the cities and into the suburbs... Also telecommuting is on the rise..

Don't be silly, Grizzled Twit.
As a true conservative, I expect the price of gasoline to become prohibitive all on its own as global demand exceeds Peak Oil supply. Of course you've already planted your head firmly up your butt and are either gullible enough to think that our planet has an infinite supply of Oil or simply stupid enough to not comprehend the market economics of supply and demand.

My advocacy of passenger rail systems is merely an effort to build the necessary infrastructure BEFORE Peak Oil cripples our economy.

Typical partisan pot/kettle/black idiocy.
You're obviously the type of mental midget who lowers the intellectual level of this forum. If FR provided a "bozo filter", you'd be on it.

Buttom line: I advocate investment in modern, efficient transportation infrastructure that will make our economy more productive and competitive in the 21st Century. While you take the lazy lardass maintain the status quo do nothing approach.

You are a nonproductive and noncompetitive LOSER and luddite.
