In 2010 it could not be forseen that capital would invest and lose $350 billion in the Fracking. Many in that effort went bankrupt in 2020, US oil production is down 1.5 million barrels a day, and oil increased 70% in the last year. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine indicates this forecast is foresightful. Joint Forces Command’s Joint Operating Environment 2010 (JOE-2010) warning to all US military commands of the political risks of depending on foreign oil: “By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, […]

- [Real Estate](https://jpods.com/real_estate/): Below is a prompt for real estate developers and city officals to use to assess the benefit from shifting from car-centric to walkable cities. Link to assessments for various cities. American cities used to be walkable. Every city over 10,000 people had one or more privately funded streetcar networks in the early 1900s. This prompt will hopefully provide financial justification for returning to an economy where people were not forced to buy cars by government central planners. If you are interested, following the prompt is a summary of the unconstitutional policy mistake that resulted in unwalkable cities. The Morgantown PRT […]

They rode together all the way to Museumplein to protest the rising violence of car‑dominated streets. At the time, Dutch cities were losing dozens of children every year to traffic collisions. Families decided that silence was no longer an option.Their movement became known as “Stop de Kindermoord” — Stop the Child Murder. A powerful, heartbreaking name for a powerful, necessary awakening.

JPods integrates microgrids into our networks to make our transport networks durable against storms, cyber attacks, grid failures, oil embargoes, etc….  These microgrids also provide utilities with a Distributed Grid™ of stable sources. JPods networks deploy to provide mobility. Our Return on Investment is based on converting traffic costs into value, not on the cost of electricity. The cost savings […]
- [Alliance](https://jpods.com/alliance/): JPods networks gather about 5 MWh per mile of guideway per day. JPods has patents pending for integrating microgrids into our networks. These microgrids make our transport networks durable against storms, cyber attacks, grid failures, oil embargos, etc….   We pay the capital costs for adding energy collection capacity. So there are no capital obligation to utilities. We gather about 5 MWh per mile per day, which is ~42,000 vehicle-miles of energy per mile per day. JPods payback models are for 10,000 vehicle-miles per mile per day. So it is likely we will have excess energy. We store our excess energy […]

- [Problem-Solution](https://jpods.com/problem-solution/): Physical Internet®: Analog transport and energy networks will digitize into the Physical Internet® similar to how analog communications networks digitized into the Internet. Energy and transport networks will become solar-powered and highly distributed. Over the next 12 years 500,000 miles of podcar networks will be built to convert 60% of the $2.76 trillion/year traffic costs Americans into jobs, customer savings, and profits. This will be similar to building of 260,000 miles railroads in the late 1800s. These networks will be the sustainable logistic capillaries with railroads as the logistic arteries. They will displace 60% of car-miles on the 2 million miles of […]

- [Girls](https://jpods.com/girls/): Copied: Gerda Lerner, the historian and scholar who pioneered the field of women’s history, once described how frequently girls and women’s stories have been neglected in the study of history: “In my courses, the teachers told me about a world in which ostensibly one-half the human race is doing everything significant and the other half doesn’t exist. I asked myself how this checked against my own life experience. ‘This is garbage; this is not the world in which I have lived.’” #WomensHistoryMonth To introduce kids to pioneering women role models who changed the world, we recommend the picture book “Little […]
- [Unconstitutional Federal Highways](https://jpods.com/unconstitutional/): The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1616 began systematically violating the Constitution. Federal highways resulted in foreign oil addiction, oil-dollar funded terrorist attacks, oil-wars since 1991, debt increasing to $33 trillion in tandem with oil imports and oil-wars, Climate Change, and the coming end of affordable oil. Following is a summary of the Constitution, Presidential veto messages enforcing the Constitution, and unanswered calls to actions by Presidents to end foreign oil addiction. The United States of America Constitution is an enumerated powers document defining a compound republic. Powers not enumerated are retained by We the People and states as citizens define […]

Defeat the Will to Violate Borders Defeating an enemy’s will: The US Navy employed 158 airships to guard convoys crossing the Atlantic in World War II. Airships were so intimidating to U-boat crews, that no convoy guarded by an airship lost a ship to U-boats. Good summary of airships by Veritasium

The people, by throwing themselves into either scale, will infallibly make it preponderate. If their rights are invaded by either, they can make use of the other as the instrument of redress. How […]
