Any time my car radio switches to AM there is major discomfort. It's time to say goodbye, and the future should be on the phone.

Any time congress gets involved many millions are spent. Again when a law is passed. Again by the manufacturers. These costs mandate the future should be supported, not the past.

Mandate that cell towers, at least along major highways, survive indefinitely on solar. A degraded service level would be acceptable, no video for example. Require satellite internet fallback! Do it now.

Any highway parking spot should have abundant charging opportunities (on solar) and drinking fountains. Prepare for the inevitable big disasters coming.



A bit of crackle and you wanna throw out AM?


No, AM is never used. So there is no station, just some loud hammering noises. The urge to get rid of that makes driving more dangerous.
