But we need nukes and maglev for more serious business travel.
About 50% of the electricity in the U.S. is generated from coal. So more electric trains means burning more coal.
Which is fine by me. I just don’t live on a train line, don’t want to go where train lines go, never have, never will.
I prefer the infinite points of origin and infinite points of destination and non-scheduled immediacy of CARS.
If I wanted to implement the perfectly controlled socialism, I would force people to use trains. Then I own them. They can’t go anywhere without me controlling their movement. Bwaaahaahaaa!
