Not only that, but it's just plain
spiffy.


Its spiffiness becomes amplified when you bolt a couple of nuclear
generators onto a new set of cross-country electrified high-speed double
track railroads and get all them damned trucks and busses off the road.


How you going to obtain right-of way? Don't say you're going to use the
highway, because messing with the area for the public's cars won't get you
reelected. You certainly will have to avoid all wetlands, wilderness areas,
urban areas where crossings cannot be made at other than highway level
because of the danger ... goes on and on.
