Suggesting a book review section.
Hope to see titles by yourself, of course... Additionally, Simmons' "Twilight In The Desert"; Heinberg's several books on Peaking resources; Christopher C. Swan's book "ELECTRIC WATER" is a particularly upbeat discussion in this Oil Interregnum genre'.
Maybe, as time passes, you might consider more coverage of projects dear to your heart, possibly the Mag-Lev proposals trying to sneak in under the cover of more Nuclear Power... Out west, of actual more value to workaday people, is the North Coast Railway project, putting back together the Northwestern Pacific Commuter/Freight rail infrastructure around & north of, Santa Rosa, Ca. This sytems approach to rail transport will include cross-bay ferry links and bicycle amenities.
The generic railway matrix of the United States is what needs expansion & extension & rehab, along with the attendant local rail/truck interface warehousing as seen pre-freeway era.
Comments about the local railway lines are appreciated, especially your insights regarding the more grass-roots aspects of the Interurban Railway methodology, and the employment of locals in a local oriented enterprise. The Chicago, South Shore & South Bend is a good working model, and is mentioned to elicit some railway interest from our current crop of Chicago area national leaders...
Generic Railways. People who could maintain and build things in their respective hometowns. Hmm.

Is it just me or has Barack Obama morphed from a thoughtful, intelligent leader into a classic liberal apologist? Take his recent trip to the Middle East where he wowed the Muslim world by adopting the old mantra that the West is to blame for all of the ills that plague the Muslim, and by extension, Third World. We've heard it all before Obama: the Muslim world was born innocent and pure before The Evil West corrupted it thoroughly with its' decadent culture and repressive colonial rule. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Then Obama voiced his support for a "Palestinian Homeland" and chastised Israel for the hardships inflicted on the poor Palestinians by Israeli occupation. If this was the kind of change Barack Obama represents, I'd sooner have Dubya back in the Oval Orifice.

I will have to say Obama has been a big disappointment so far.
