We also need to stop building highways. 
 
For the past 65 years US policy, in effect, has been: highways are to  
build; railroads are to abandon. That needs to be reversed.
 
In the past six years the Des Moines freeway, I-235, has been massively  
rebuilt to carry more lanes of car traffic. The freeway was a mistake when  
originally built. Now we have dug ourselves in deeper. And many square miles 
of  the best farmland in the world have been destroyed by the urban sprawl 
that the  freeway facilitated.
 
We will be serious about stopping climate change when we stop building  
more automobile infrastructure.
