Exactly!!
Do people (Americans) realize the next generation of high-speed rail coming to market could whisk you from the center of Chicago to the center of NYC in 2.5 hours with no airport hassle and we are literally buying highway expansions instead of this? robbreport.com/motors/cars/c…

Trains are so much fuel efficient than cars in terms of per capital emission.

The problem with Biden admin and other energy saving solutions is that they fail to address the "last mile" problem that is also not energy efficient. High-speed rail from O'Hare to JFK would be great, but liberals will not want it because it is between airports.

We're not Western Europe.

What a great idea ... Let's do it ... I love Europe because ... even if your destination is a little, out of the way small town ... there's usually a train that will take you there!

I remember my university time in Germany many years back. The infrastructure that made trains possible was very impressive.

It almost seems as if the powers that be do not want a convenient, less expensive way for us to travel.

High-speed trains are faster, pleasanter and better for the climate than flying. They are safer than driving and you can drink on trains. I would switch in a heartbeat.
