A solar storm could generate the same effect. And that’s not just a theory — it’s happened before. In 1989, “a vast cloud of…plasma,” ejected from the sun, caused a 12-hour blackout in Quebec

S. 2372 Omnibus Energy Bill's amendment, Transportation Energy Diversity, creates a regulatory framework that will:

• Collect 3 gigawatt-hours of solar energy/day by 2020 by allowing Hyperloop, JPods, ET3, Metrino, and other solar-powered mobility networks to be privately funded in Massachusetts.
• Cut dependence on foreign oil by 50% by 2020. 
• Create at least 6,000 sustainable industry jobs by 2018.
• Earn $6 billion/year of the $15.9 billion/year traffic costs (cost of gasoline, accidents, and congestion) to fund additional energy diversification.
• $60 billion in private infrastructure investment in Massachusetts by 2025.
• Establish Massachusetts as a center deploying solar-powered mobility networks.
• Establish Massachusetts as an export center for JPods to meet its obligations to ship networks to China and India in 2017.
• Compete in the sustainable infrastructure market with $trillion "Post-oil Era" Funds announced by China and Saudi Arabia.

Builds on a strong foundation of:

• The 110 million oil-free, injury-free record of Morgantown’s Personal Rapid Transit.
• The 476 ton-mile/gallon efficiency of freight railroads.
• The on-demand service of the Internet.

Preempts risks from dependence on foreign oil:

• Preempts the pollution from oil-powered, congested urban traffic that is driving Climate Change. 
• Defunds oil-dollar funded terrorism.
• Reduces risks that rising gasoline prices will collapse the economy by 2020:
  • US oil production is decreasing at 1 million-barrels/day/year, or about equal to one 1973 Oil Embargo per year. By 2017, US oil production will be down by 2 to 4 million-barrels per day. The Law of Supply and Demand will force gasoline prices much higher.
  • Documentaries for understanding Energy Economics and Peak Oil.
  • Unemployment is highly correlated to gas prices two years earlier. Life requires energy. Less affordable energy, less life. Gasoline prices are up 35% since Feb 2016.
