Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Wed Sep 18 11:17:43 2019, in response to Re: e-mail Response From Amtrak, posted by George Foelschow on Wed Sep 18 01:09:28 2019. Two issues. What power source will be free from pollution? Science is saying that green energy is more toxic than fossil fuels now. Dams, but you kill fish and change the landscape. And Nuclear is a no-no. Remember, you can get a tidal wave inland evidently (don't ask, no one's answered my queries on this either).Diesel, however, is apparently one of the most powerful sources of energy on earth per its size per pound. And it's a lot cleaner than it used to be. I think the real question here is, not that we're not converting rail lines to electric for whatever reason, it's not we're NOT building ANYTHING. Where is my commuter rail lines at? That could be electric easily. Go anywhere in the country, all you hear about is 45 year old HSR plans and commuter lines. Putting people from our backwards rest-stops on the highways to a decent diesel train is still cleaner than the do nothing option. |
