Opponents of nuclear energy always jump to Chernobyl. I hate that. Are they saying that we can't make a nuclear power plant that's safer than a decaying 1980's Soviet backwater power plant? Come on. The French have been doing this stuff for years.<BR/><BR/>Second, at least as far as freight goes, this has got to be faster than trucking stuff across the damn country. Get stuff to market faster, and you will be an economic god.<BR/><BR/>Third, this is a new system of infrastructure. Hasn't every era of progress been preceded by an infrastructural overhaul?<BR/><BR/>Lovingly,<BR/>Your AttorneyDewey, Cheatem, & Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124710422026665958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129216040599184876.post-29965832355876795482007-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:002007-10-17T11:16:00.000-04:00States should be more active in funding this stuff...States should be more active in funding this stuff.

Get the states to chip in, the more you chip in the more locations these trains stop at in your state. <BR/><BR/>This is something that is long overdue in this country, especially with the way flight prices have skyrocketed. I would support a stop at any city with 225,000 plus people. I will write more about possible locations later today.Jack Gonzo, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05402240056740725609noreply@blogger.com
