Only if every piece of steel is manufactured by using wind and solar energy. Let's see the bartender pull that rabbit out of her hat.

The only place in America where this idea might have value is the DC to NY City run. Beyond that....no one from SF really cares to have a run to Vegas....same story for folks in Miami having an interest in a run to Orlando. Chicago to St Louis? Why? Dallas to Houston? Worthless.

Isn’t building all that track going to cause CO2?

The only place where HSR will be successful will be the Northeast Corridor between DC and Boston. However, HSR will kill Connecticut’s Marine Industry since you’ll have to keep drawbridges closed if you rebuild the New Haven Route. If they build a new corridor, it will transform some old Connecticut’s small towns. Also a new corridor will be an albatross to American taxpayers...

Who uses high speed rail, besides liberals?

The big selling point of high speed rail was that you could go from downtown to downtown, without that big schlep to the airport.

But who would use it now that "downtown" means an un-policed hellhole of crime?
