"We used to have a country, allegedly, but you couldn't drive across it, because all we had was a bunch of old dirt roads. Somebody, in the name of national security, said, 'Hold on a sec. What if we get invaded on the West Coast, how can we get troops from the East Coast?' So we created an interstate-highway system that connected the country to itself. The minute we did that the economy went through the roof."
"In the name of national security, people in the Pentagon said, 'if we have one big communications tower, and somebody knocks it out, then we're blind, deaf, and dumb. We've got to figure out a way to distribute our information system'. So they came up with the idea of the information super-highway. The minute we connected the country to itself, the economy went through the roof. Let's do it again. But this time, instead of connecting the country to itself to move bodies and vehicles or data around, let's connect the country to itself so we can move clean-energy electrons around. Then you've got the strongest economy in the world."
