Train brains. Though I must admit, I wonder if more train service in FL would get some a-hole drivers off the roads and make things a little safer? But yeah, many trains run on “non polluting” electricity. Or IS it? Like with Teslas and other electric cars where does that electricity come from, unicorn farts?

France gets 75+% of it’s electricity from nuclear power they are the world leader in percent of total power from nuclear. Their plants load follow also the world leader in that technology. They reprocessed spent fuel into more fuel. They store 40+ years of “wastes” under 3 feet of concrete at La Hague in an area smaller than a football pitch again world leaders in that technology. They have no shortage of electricity for high speed trains anyone who travels Europe extensively marvels at the efficiency of the network it boggles the mind why the states don’t have similar technology. Then you realise the US government is bought and sold by corporate interests and the airlines plus Boeing bride more than any train group ever could.
