In his Green Energy Plan, Biden said he would do the following:

"Spark the second great railroad revolution. Two centuries ago, the first great railroad expansion drove our industrial revolution. Today, the U.S. is lagging behind Europe and China in rail safety and speed. Biden will develop a plan to ensure that America has the cleanest, safest, and fastest rail system in the world – for both passengers and freight.

With respect to passenger rail: He’ll start by putting the Northeast Corridor on higher speeds and shrinking the travel time from D.C. to New York by half – and build in conjunction with it a new, safer Hudson River Tunnel.

He will make progress toward the completion of the California High Speed Rail project.

He will expand the Northeast Corridor to the fast-growing South. Across the Midwest and the Great West, he will begin the construction of an end-to-end high speed rail system that will connect the coasts, unlocking new, affordable access for every American."

Two centuries ago, the first great railroad expansion was a triumph of private enterprise.

How about Solyndra-powered high-speed rail to Hawaii?

That would be very Barack-Obama-ish.

The Democrats are going back to the 1800s apparently

Dems spent about 150 million on their choo-choo here called the smart train in Marin County -what a joke that is

This stupid “high-speed rail” that they were supposedly going to build from LA to San Francisco has always been nothing more than a money pot for planners designers architects engineers and everything you’ve already taken about $150 million and nothing repeat nothing has been done at all

I’ll these giant infrastructure projects are nothing more than Democrat money halls - member Obamas $800 million stimulus

I recently needed to buy train tickets from Berlin to Paris for my family and found out there is no direct train. I couldn’t believe it. So I bought tickets for a train from Austria that has beds and two changes.

Shut up, Joe. We don’t need it as designed. Stay out of our State budget distributions. Oregon might like it, though.

Yep, there’s nothing a liberal loves more than a railway project that costs $100 million per mile.

A NEW initiative in CA to fund the boondoggle would fail 6-4.

Most of the middle-left here is sick of it.

Gore on the wrong horse again. And it allows Trump to force Dims to defend CA. Especially when combined with the illegal problem. And money/healthcare for illegals, not homeless vets and Americans.
