5. NJ 2004-A2031 Life Requires Energy 2004-A2031: Framework of
Economic Boom As new technologies have been made viable, the State
has benefited from being an early adopter.... It is in the State's
economic interest to investigate new types of service which may
improve the usefulness and integration of existing platforms,
provide fast, inexpensive travel options, reduce capital costs of
projects, and reduce pollution from motor vehicle travel. Personal
Rapid Transit (PRT).... According to the Federal Transit
Administration, average capital cost per twoway mile for heavy rail
is $150 million, and for light rail is $70 million. For operating
cost per passenger mile: heavy rail is $1.20, light rail is
$1.80.... The transportation system of New Jersey may benefit
greatly from fostering a niche role for profitably managed rapid
transit as a supplement to its current system. It is in the State's
interest to consider the integration of PRT into its transportation
system....

7. Wisdom of Edison Life Requires Energy Framework of Economic
Boom Thomas Edison, 1910 "Sunshine is spread out thin and so is
electricity. Perhaps they are the same, Sunshine is a form of
energy, and the winds and the tides are manifestations of
energy.... Do we use them? Oh, no! We burn up wood and coal, as
renters burn up the front fence for fuel. We live like squatters,
not as if we owned the property. There must surely come a time when
heat and power will be stored in unlimited quantities in every
community, all gathered by natural forces. Electricity ought to be
as cheap as oxygen...."

20. The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) network built in
Morgantown, WV has delivered 110 million oil-free, injury-free
passenger-miles since opening in 1975. Build on Success $9.1
million saving of passenger travel time costs. $4.78 million in
congestion costs. $5.78 million in operating costs ($260.2 million
for buses - $144.5 for PRT over 20 years). 2,472 tons of CO2, or
12% of the emissions of buses. Note that Morgantowns PRT network
achieves this savings with coal based electricity. JPods networks
are solar powered. Pays for itself every 5 years compared with a

31. Constitution Life Requires Energy To preempt a Federal
repeat of the defects of the Kings transportation monopoly, on Sept
14, 1787 the Convention voted 8 states to 3 to restrict Federal
involvement in infrastructure to no more than post Roads, no more
than was required to defend free speech by assuring letters could
be delivered. In 1787 the Constitution of the United States of
America was submitted to the American people for ratification.
Preamble is the Federal mission statement establishing Divided
Sovereignty Mandating the Federal government provide defense of
liberty. Restricting Federal involvement to only promote welfare.
In 1791 the Bill of Rights was ratified with Amendments 9 and 10
restating the Divided Sovereignty of the Preamble.
32. Liberty Life Requires Energy President Madisons veto of
March 3, 1817 reaffirms Divided Sovereignty over welfare,
specifically highways and canals "Having considered the bill this
day presented to me entitled 'An act to set apart and pledge
certain funds for internal improvements,' and which sets apart and
pledges funds 'for constructing roads and canals, and improving the
navigation of water courses' . . . I am constrained by the
insuperable difficulty I feel in reconciling the bill with the
Constitution of the United States to return it with that objection
to the House of Representatives. The legislative powers vested in
Congress are specified and enumerated in the eighth section of the
first article of the Constitution, and it does not appear that the
power proposed to be exercised by the bill is among the enumerated
powers."
33. Civilization Killers Life Requires Energy Federal violation
of the Constitutions Divided Sovereignty: 1918: Willson monopolized
communications, and socialized power and transportation as natural
monopolies. A century of rotary telephones until liberty was
reestablished in 1982. 1935: FDRs Rural Electrification
Administration removed self-reliance as a market force. Wiped out
the entire distributed energy industry and forced the abandonment
of about 600,000 windmills. Mandated burning coal and being tied to
the grid to be economically competitive. Triggered Climate Change.
1956: Eisenhowers Federal-Aid Highways Act of 1956. Removed
efficiency as a market force, wiping out nearly half the railroads.
Urban sprawl and disenfranchising small local businesses. Transfer
manufacturing overseas. Resource depletions, US Peak Oil was in
1970. $18 trillion in national debt increasing in tandem with oil
imports. Oil-wars since 1990. Funding of Islamic Extremists terror
attacks with oil-dollars. Amplifying Climate Change. Exposing the
people of New Jersey to Oil Famine.
34. Life Requires EnergyLiberty Restored in 1982 After the
Federal communications monopoly was declared unconstitutional in
1982, with liberty to choose restored to the people, long dormant
innovations of the Internet and radio telephone networks

faster, safer, and more affordable transportation infrastructure is
sovereignty retained by the people. By 2021 convert NJs $35.8
