The Railroad Windfarm creating a massive number of jobs across a wide range of industries has the potential to be an economic powerhouse.
The Patent suggests converting surplus railcars to productive use to reduce dead weight. Qualified people will be needed to retrofit railcars. Railroad workers will also be needed for the construction and operation of new sidings and switchyards.
​
Upgrading railroad yards and tracks will create a demand for steel rails. The need for new steel rails, airfoils, railcar regenerative brakes, solar panels, and wind turbines etc.will generate thousands of well-paying manufacturing jobs.
The Railroad Windfarm replaces new transmission lines which enables remotely located solar/wind farms. The ‘out of sight, out of mind’ facilities decrease NIMBYism. The desirability of remote land will inflate some property values and increase the number of realtors.
​
Building renewable energy infrastructure will generate jobs. Utilities will need workers to build and manage substations to discharge renewable energy batteries into local grids.
​
Research and development of higher capacity renewable energy batteries will create design and engineering jobs. Improving EV batteries and battery exchange technology will offer similar opportunities. The development of desalination and electrolysis railcars and over two dozen other types of railcars will create many new jobs.
Every different type of railcar creates the need for workers, i.e., nurses staffing a clinic. Unskilled workers will be needed for various labor intensive jobs. Administrative, legal, and logistical support personnel will be required for the thousands of jobs created.
​​
EV battery lease/exchange services will lower prices and reduce range anxiety. Franchises that have EV battery exchange services will need qualified personnel. Convenience and lower prices will increase sales and promote wider EV use. The EV industry will need to employ a larger manufacturing workforce. ​​
