The Clean Energy Grid They Erased From Every American City.

In 1925, the United States possessed the most advanced, clean, and efficient electric transit system in human history. By 1956, it was gone—physically ripped from the ground, stacked into mountains, and burned. The official history books tell us that Americans simply fell in love with the automobile. But the federal court records from 1949 tell a different story: a documented conspiracy by General Motors, Standard Oil, and Firestone to systematically destroy the electric streetcar infrastructure of over forty major cities to force the public into permanent dependency on fossil fuels. What happens to a civilization when its most efficient, communal, and clean technologies are destroyed for a profit margin? Join us as we explore the Terminal Island bonfires, the legal erasure of the electric grid, and the ghost of the Old World still buried beneath our modern asphalt.
