“...perhaps california’s angle is to force interstate adoption of overhead electrified rail lines...”


Yes, that would be great. But are the power plants generating the electricity also ‘zero emission’? If not, then what’s the point?

Isn’t that how the European trains are powered?

In the second link that i gave, it is stated that

“Annual emissions reduced by 250K MTC02...
equivalent to taking 55,000 cars off the road”

(aeemingly, this is only valid if one ascribes CO2 production as a big threat to the environment)
