Talk:Danny Kennedy (environmentalist)

Author wanted article to be called 'Danny Kennedy (entrepreneur)' but it seems from the news sources he is known more as an environmentalist and advocate for clean energy. I think 'entrpreneur' is a vague WP:PEACOCK term. Sionk (talk) 01:28, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Let's get the railroads involved!

It will become increasingly necessary for us to increase dramatically our ability to create power as the country finds more vehicles being powered by electricity and needing charging. The railroads own large amounts of land and have right of ways that are lacked by the utilities, which normally are being tasked with creating new sources of power. If they exploited some of that land for the production of wind, solar or geothermal power, they could also use their right of way to transmit that power to the consuming locations. The railroads would profit from the sale of the power, but since all their motive power is already electric, they will need much, much less diesel to move their rolling stock. Also, those right of ways could be used to create the pipeline expansion that we will need to move increasing amounts of liquids, gasses, powders, and grain. Each time a pipeline could replace a line of rolling stock, the railroads would again increase their profits (by owning the pipeline) while still serving their public by moving the freight safely and in the volumes needed. That increased revenue and profitability could be translated into expedited conversion of grade crossings on truck lines allowing those railroads to increase their operating speeds safely and thereby their efficiency. It will take concerted effort by those who see the benefit of such moves along with possible tax incentives from the government to get the major railroads to expand their horizons and become net producers and transporters of energy.
