USA Will Invest in High-Speed Train to Fight Climate Change::The USA Will Invest in High-Speed Train to Fight Climate Change - US President Joe Biden announced in a speech on December 9, 2023 that they are carrying out the first high-speed train projects in US history. These projects are across America
“Microsoft has just announced it’s brand new, innovative music experience: the Zune!”
Until the Republicans shoot it down and instead use that budget to give their rich chums more tax breaks
Yeah, why should such a thing be regulated?
We all probably still remember the East Palestine accident, but all that turned alright in the end didn’t it?
Why no superconducting maglev tho?
Too expensive and hard to maintain. You can get pretty good speeds with traditional rail, in western Europe there are trains reaching 200-250km/h.
300-350km/h actually. Although most places indeed average 200-250 on high speed lines, for example in Germany because those services often share infrastructure with slower trains. In France and Spain, however, infrastructure is often exclusively high speed which allows much higher sustained speeds around the 300km/h mark.
Because having cryogenics for thousands of miles of open-air track is kind of hard
Sure, but if we just didn’t do stuff because it’s hard, then we’d never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.
We might not do stuff because it’s an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent either.
United States will never be able to achieve something like this because tiny ass governments of little weird counties all across the country will complain about having tracks run through their stupid shit hole
as soon as the Republicans are elected with a full house they can shut this down and throw away all of the money that was put into it
