Harvesting Fruit from a Poison Tree
An old saying goes, "You shall know them by their fruits" and "You cannot get good fruit from a poison tree." The "huddled masses" interpretation of my post is incorrect, and I AM speaking of the "1%" back then, who built the car factories, and had the electric trollies dismantled in exchange for buses and autos, etc. Ever wonder why there is no "bottom" on our vehicles? Here's a children rhyme of mine about it to maybe read to your kids (remove all the spaces):

Yes, the humans have forgotten to put the BOTTOM on every vehicle. It's quite the optical illusion when we look at a car. We never think that it DOES NOT HAVE A BOTTOM TO IT!
So, every little petroleum oil drip and drop, and glip and glop, eventually add up to one BIG drip and drop, and glip and glop.
For instance, boat owners must take responsibility for getting the oil out of the bilge water before pumping it out into open waters. Not so with land vehicles. NO RESPONSIBILITY to what is coming out of the bottom of our vehicles, and what are we contributing to in the destruction of the environment?
The 1% implement it all, the the 99% support it by VOTING WITH THEIR DOLLAR. Just go into NAPA auto parts, and try to buy something that supports self sufficiency and environmentalism. It's a given, people have to feed their families, go to work, pay the bills. So into these petro-farting metal dinosaurs we daily go.
Now, billions of tires later, and countless miles of earth-smothering asphalted roads, the railroad is actually looking pretty good again!
At least it is in my estimation.
Railroads allow the earth to breathe, and 'urban runoff' is eliminated. No more toxic tires either. Because, as we all know, the modern-day auto does not work without the tires and a road to roll upon.
Big-time road-resistance doing it this way with rubber tires.
How about a polished metal wheel on a polished metal rail? Rolling resistance is virtually nil this way. Now, put electric motors in the center hub of each wheel, with a swappable, home-made 'zinc-air battery' system powering it all. Google search this for more details.
