National Security

Living in a secure land is more than having a strong military. It is having a strong economy not held hostage to petroleum-dependency for moving troops, material, and for moving the economy.

The military must have an oil-free means of transporting soldiers and material. That oil-free mobility offers a path to a secure future, reducing the military imperative to attempt to secure for North American consumption, oil supplies and pipelines situated in unfriendly and/or unstable nations.

Our national leaders must address these issues, inform and educate the public about the risks of petroleum dependency and offer meaningful solutions to avoid and mitigate the worst risks to society and the economy. Clearly the Steel Interstate System offers the best means at our disposal to transition our transportation system from oil-dependent to oil-free.

Economic Strength = National Security

Rebuilding the economy to employ sustainable mobility enhances international competitiveness and national security.

The Path to Oil-Free Mobility

The Steel Interstate ensures oil-free mobility of military personnel and cargoes and a functioning, strong economy.

Oil-Free > Peace Dividend

Electrified rail support for domestic renewable energy minimizes call for military protection of foreign petroleum or pipelines.

Reliable and Secure Rail Mobility - Analogous to Eisenhower Interstate System

The Steel Interstate would restore movement of strategic military supplies and personnel in times of crisis.
