The national speed limit would be an absolute joke. We need to step up refining to back to what it was BEFORE Katrina (last I heard it still wasn't done), increase domestic production (it's safe for off-shore and there's a shit ton in the southwest), and so on and so forth.

That, and turn a lot of the desert into a gigantic solar farm. I mean shit, is Death Valley really being used for anything? Nothing lives there. Put a field of solar panels out there!

Wait wait. America's highways don't have a speed limit?

Why am I only learning this now.

They do, but the limits vary between states and highways. Some highways here seem to be 55mph, some seem to be 65mph. I think a few states have it at 75MPH.

edit: lol Smithereener, one time I was driving up to New York with the family. My mom is a speed demon, so at one point we were doing like 105MPH (okay it's not lightning fast but it's well above the limit). We shot right past a state trooper, but luckily he was already pulling somebody else over

Americans drive slow as fuck anyway.

The answer is to stop buying SUVs, and learn to make a car that doesn't have a 9834569386cc engine.
