Re: U.S. Infrastructure -- A Survey...

I jotted down a quick list of some "infrastructure" options.  I feel like a city planner... ( I just remembered 'Sim-City - I had it on 5 1/4 floppy disk )  These are some of the options that we as a society have to choose from.

We get more flexibility with some to the choices than with others.  But it's fascinating to look at the decisions that have been make.

Anyone care to rate the relative importance of the items in general terms?  

1. Roads & Highways ( Interstate, Intrastate, Local )
2. Transportation Hubs ( Airports, Marine Projects, Freight )
3. Power Generation ( CONG w/wo CHP )
4. Energy Harvesting ( Solar, Hydro, Wind, Geothermal, Wave )
5. Transmission Lines ( AC/DC,  Cu, Al, Steel -or- Super Conductor)
6. Fuel Distribution ( Gases, Liquids, Solids ) 
7. Water ( Potable, Fire, Irrigation )
8. Waste Removal ( Garbage, Trash, Recyclables, Sewer ) 
9. Data Backbone ( u-Wave, WiFi, Fiber, Cable, TV )
10. Public Buildings ( Stadiums, Parks, Museums )
11. Public Service ( Police, Fire, Hospital )
12. Schools ( Government, Private ) 

Please don't feel obligated to rank all 12.  I might rank "4,9,5" as important to my business today. And wally-world might say "2,1,8,12"...

Thanks for yout input!
