It is a little scary. One thing I've always been irate about is the lack of high-speed mass transit in the US. Where are the bullet trains in this country? I don't mean to be so naïve and say this will solve an energy crisis, but Amtrak being the most significant (human) interstate rail transporation is pathetic. The geography, governments, and lifestyles of the populations in Japan and Europe may accomodate the rail system more naturally, but at the very least, we should be more open to public spending in this area.
