Warren Buffett's Bet on Rail and America

I disagree with the emphasis as I see this as a bet on the fuel shortage due to efficiency of the rail roads.

Further, it is a bet on coal and electricity. Hauling coal from the Powder River Basin is BNI's lifeblood. and the utilities will survive as they are monopolies and regulation will not put them down.

Their paper/ bonds are what keep the ever powerful insurance industry alive. So Insurance and electricity are combined,an over powering force in Washington.

I have fought them both and know.
