American Transit Warrior

It is Mike George’s mission to leverage the capabilities, efficiencies, and reliability of the electric power system, to jump-start and develop in tandem modern public transport solutions in North America that are safe, practical, reliable, and accessible to all Americans.

21st Century America should be responsible for granting Americans (regardless of their ability or desire to own a car) the means to get from their home to their destination, whether it be for work, school, shopping, entertainment, visiting family, traveling, etc. There are innumerable socioeconomic and environmental benefits that could be achieved from broadly accessible, interconnected transport systems in sustaining healthy, vibrant, and energy efficient urban communities.

To achieve this requires not only engineering advancements among the silos that characterize the utility industry, but also a focused commitment that delves into sustainable corporate governance, political advocacy, and educational investments to overcome the daunting impediments to large-scale infrastructure development in America.

Most of today’s energy challenges are not technical per se but rather cultural and political, and Mike has committed to this mission by rejecting through direct action the stubborn and unsustainable culture that necessitates personal automobile ownership in the United States.
