  1. The US had one high speed train project, the LA to San Francisco project. And it recently went bankrupt, after California wasted billions of dollars on it.

  2. These progressives like Alexadria Cortez have absolutely no grasp of the real world practical issues. China has a high speed rail system. But they don't have issues like immanent domain. It's a single party oligarchy where technically the government owns all the land, so people are just evicted from any building in the way. And even for much shorter distances than NY to LA, an airplane is cheaper than the high speed train, which runs at most 300 kph, 1/3 the speed. China's population is concentrated on the East. A high speed train from LA to NY would cost twice as much as an airplane, and even that would require government subsidies.

  3. People like AOC would oppose every form of energy, that would work. The NW US is almost entirely powered by renewable energy, hydroelectric, with the major power plants on the Columbia river. But the first dam flooded Indian fishing grounds. And the dams also interfere with fish and spawning salmon.
