“On the Side of the Angels” – How Warren Buffett Could Help Transform America’s Transport & Energy Future

The “two-fer-one” deal with Berkshire Hathaway that would transform US rail service, capacity, and electrification – AND – create a national SuperGrid for renewable energy.

On the morning of May 4, 2019, I won a very particular lottery. 40,000 people from around the globe had made the annual pilgrimage to Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholder meeting.  They had come to hear and, if chance allowed, to speak with the Oracle(s) of Omaha, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. That morning, five years ago, my name was drawn to ask the first question. Unlike the vast majority of the pilgrims, I was not there to pay tribute, but to make a proposal for electrification of Bershire Hathaway’s rail company BNSF, owner of the railroad between Chicago and the west coast.

TO KEEP READING..…about how that morning went, Charlie Munger’s reply that I was “on the side of the angels,” and Solutionary Rail’s proposal for rail electrification and co-location of renewable energy transmission along the rail corridor, please check out the blog post on Substack or our website.
