Wait, did you just claim centrally planned projects are disasters, and propose to use nationwide highway/pipeline network instead?

  Yes! The subtle point being that our pipelines/highways already exist, and I'd love to shove something besides oil down the pipelines.

    The point being, I think, that the highways were a centrally planned project.

    ... but Interstates did not exist a couple generations ago. They were a planned project, carried out recently enough that many of us still remember when they were not done yet. That project was started in the 50s, and completed in 1992.

    I missed where the interstate highway system was a spontaneous, uncoordinated series of projects that individual states and private entities took up on their own!
