Sanders promised to “do great things” if elected president, including “creating a state of the art rail system which takes trucks off the road.”

Such a system would be akin to recreating the Interstate Highway system which today would be nearly impossible.

The environmental impact statement alone would take two or three decades to prepare and approve. The cost of the study would probably get close to a billions dollars.

If such a project is approved by congress it will amount to nothing more than a make work project for environmental engineers and lawyers.

Don't worry. Leftist/socialist created monstrosities (wind farms, forced recycling, shutting down nuclear power plants, shutting down coal fired power plants, shutting down coal mines, etc.) never require decades of environmental studies or "studies" of any kind. It's all for Mother Earth and because it's "good" these acts only require some government edict and an appropriate media propaganda program to get them done.
