High Speed Rail?,So Will Alexandria Cortez & Friends Help Build This Monstrosity?

[ABikerSailor]

So do you Luddites have STOCK in buggy whip manufacturers?

How will she get the military to stop flying?

There are no solar or wind powered jets. They all require fossil fuel. Once fossil fuels are history, they'll be permanently grounded.

Ever heard of the Solar Impulse II? It's a solar powered airplane that completed a flight around the planet.

So the genuis Cortez is all giddy over the thought/dream of high speed rail all over the USA !!, no more long 4/5 hour flights! Yah !!!. But did she ever give thought to what a pain it would be to construct god only knows how many miles of this train project before its finally done. And who is going to build it? Building super highway systems is a pain in the ass, takes years!
Did the Genius Cortez even consider this burden/dilemma before she dreamed it up? So who will build this high speed train system? "The Little People",,while Cortez is living up a 5 start luxury life-style in 2030?

near my office, it's taken over a year to repave (2) 2 lane roads for around a third of a mile in overall length.

That's the giveaway to the rich GOP infrastructure plan....

For the same price as the CA high speed rail nowhere, you can buy 400,000,000 LAX - LAS plane tickets

When asked how did she plan on paying for her Great New Deal, AOC admitted that if we took all of the wealth from the wealthiest Americans and took the resources form the wealthiest companies in the US, it all would not even 'come close' to being able to pay for what is in her 'Sci-Fi Fantasy Novel'.

Again, an un-achievable goal based on non-existent technology admittedly being unaffordable even if it was physically possible.

Great Plan!

It will definitely take some time, it took 35 years for GOP tax rates and policy to wreck the middle class and the country...

Specifically what are you talking about, Franco? The Far Left has been in control for most of the past 35 years here in America- between Obama and Clinton and Chuck and Nancy, not to mention all the extremism coming from state governments and the Supreme Court

And everything they wanted was blocked by the GOP, dumbass dupe.the GOP only need 51 votes in the Senate to cut taxes on the rich and services on the rest with their reconciliation garbage, while the Democrats need 60 votes to pass desperately needed reform. After 35 years of GOP give away to the rich, we have the worst inequality and upward Mobility ever and in the modern world, and it only gets worse...

Completely inaccurate. Just flat out lies, actually.

Of course, as a GOP dupe, you have absolutely no clue at all.

admirable. it is.

however -
"The plane, which has a wingspan wider than a Boeing 747 and carries more than 17,000 solar cells on its wings, began the circumnavigation in March 2015 in Abu Dhabi. It has since crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceansusing no fossil fuel and has spent more than 23 days in the air."

you'd not be able to put people in here and still be able to pull this off. i'm glad to see us make progress but this isn't something you can dictate to a timeline.

YOU WILL HAVE 123 BY XYZ!!!!

maybe. but hell, now we have to invent technology we've not thought of yet. the push to do this in her timeframe is likely to do far more harm than good if you even try.

Why should we listen to foreigners, and moles like yourself?
You sound like a communist sympathizer.

And WTF is Economic Inequailty?

How about you get off of your lazy ass and embrace you some Economic Opportunity?

High speed trains would be amazing in certain busy corridors on the east or west coast. AOC is too nutty though, and Trump is too dumb to see that.

They already have it....everybody who works in NYC lives in Connecticut.

I’m talking about high speed trains. Wtf are you talking about? Those aren’t high speed trains, just regular trains. I’ve taken them.

You're right, they AREN'T high speed trains, just regular ones. I remember when I transferred from Newport RI to Norfolk VA, I caught AMTRAK from Providence RI to Washington DC. Well, because of various delays coming through CT and NYC, we were around 3 hours late. Because of that, the AMTRAK people gave me a voucher for a hotel room for the night. Got to stay in downtown DC for free for a night. And, they even covered the meals from room service.

Good times.

For the same price as the CA high speed rail nowhere, you can buy 400,000,000 LAX - LAS plane tickets

So, are you saying that it will be paying for itself when it hauls its 400 millionth customer?

Sure, out in the year 2265

Wouldn't take that long dude. Lots of people go from LA to Vegas each year.

Most drive or fly however. Traveling to and from the train station is likely to be worse than just going there directly. I guess if someone lives across the street from the LA train station it would be convenient,

She will make Mexico pay for it

Mass transit projects make more sense than investing in walls

First we need to define terms....there's no such thing as "fossil fuel". Oil is an abiotic resource continually replenishing it's self from the Earth's core. That means there is no "peak oil" either like the bookworms were predicting while Barry was posing as a president....same as coal...we'll never run out of it.

Totally agree with Oil being an Abiotic Hydrocarbon produced near the mantle.
Has anyone ever asked a simple question, such as, if oil and natural gas are fossil fuels, then why are their oceans of it on Titan where no life has ever existed?

Russians & NASA Discredit 'Fossil Fuel' Theory: Demise of Junk CO2 Science | PSI Intl

Holy shit those people are fucking stupid]

"Last week new NASA photographs proved methane lakes exist on Saturn’s moon, Titan, showing that such hydrocarbons (or so-called ‘fossil fuels’) are seemingly plentiful in our solar system.

This startling discovery turns on its head the long-held western belief that petroleum is a limited resource, because it is primarily derived (we had been told) from the fossilized remains of dead dinosaurs and rotted carbon-based vegetation."

They are trying to claim that hydrocarbons can only be formed in ONE scenario?

I don't have time to go into how fucking stupid that claim is

Can you prove that all oil was made from old dinosaur bones? If you can't "fossil fuel" is a misnomer

not dinosaur bones. ALL dead living matter. Post flood, under the silt runoff.

No worse than driving to the airport

if we don't have 5.7 billion for a wall, how would they ever ever get enough for this monstrosity?

Republicans built the interstate highway and started NASA. If it was today’s Republicans, those things never would’ve happened.

The simulator should be able to provide data on maglev technologies in a vacuum environment on Earth.
