Building hi-speed rail through a major seismic-risk area crisscrossed by faults, what could go wrong??!!
“the proposed $68 BILLION plan”
California needs a lot of things—like desalinization plants (the new Israeli ones work fine) to end potential droughts.
And new power plants for its increasing population (try Thorium reactors).
All that can be done for a lot less than 68 BILLION.
But instead, California will get a high speed rail that runs from San Francisco to a terminal two hours by car from LA (from LA you DRIVE YOUR CAR to the terminal, two hours from Los Angeles, and then get on the high speed rail to San Francisco).
WHY is ANYONE backing his crazy scheme, by a bankrupt state, which is in dire need of fixes to much of its infrastructure?
Would make for a pretty good Irwin Allen movie though...
(what?...he's dead?)
...never mind.
