Uh. Except. For ... Getting power to the roadway system (*huge* infrastructure issue, that, all by itself); providing load balanced power to this marvelous new electrified road grid, as travel flux dictates; designing, manufacturing, and implementing a road grid-to-vehicle power transfer system that operates reliably under mass transit conditions; etc. etc. etc.
Yep, once those little issues are licked we'll have our transportation infrastructure issues whipped into shape. You betcha. --Doug (You know, I sometimes almost find myself thinking back upon those days -- well, 11 years actually -- of total immersion into academia and the academic life style [translated: completely decoupled from reality] with a certain fondness. I usually recover fairly quickly.)
