If Americans make their own electrical power for their own electric cars in their homes with fuel cells, solar cells and wind power generator; and if the electric cars are covered with solar voltaic cells, and if business start ups place solar and wind automobile battery recharging poles in urban parking lots for metered coin op charging transportation costs in general will drop and public transportation costs will drop to a minimal level.

A vast number of solar photon-electron collection technologies are being developed or exist that could provide low cost home produced power for electric vehicle-platforms. If the federal government took over public transportation and used borrowed Chinese money to pay the cost and letting future generations of Americans pay the loans and interest off the transportation system might ossify quite a bit over time and become anachronistic and costly while the cheaper, faster, better private technologies are
