LA 400

The windmills on I-10 between Phoenix and LA might be used to tow ocean water uphill over the continental divide. If that were done, a river could be built that would flow down through Phoenix, into Mexico, and all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Water rapids, bike trails could be built, and of course the organic material in the ocean could be used to raise farmland and provide drinking water to the area.

The 1950s interstate highway system is due for some improvements:

1. high-speed train down the center for quick commutes
2. two lanes next to the train for high-speed motorcyclists (200+ MPH)
3. autobahn lanes for cars without speed limit
4. slower traffic lanes on the right

Build 2 tracks off-road to the right of the interstate. One would be a gravel or dirt road for high speed four wheel drives. Then another track for Baja 500-type driving. Drunk driving might be allowed (or even encouraged with proper licensing). Imagine partying in Phoenix overnight and then racing to LA or San Diego before sunrise for possible surfing. Hence the LA 400. You could also have a few campgrounds along the way just in case you wanted to stop.
