    If it’s such a good idea, why aren’t the private RR companies getting together to ask that question? Questions like: who pays for it? what does ‘high speed mean’ (150mph average = about 20 hours), why transcontinenal (SF to NY is mostly EMPTY) and who’d benefit the most (not most of US).

    I read the other day that some company is making JET fuel entirely of human poo. Sounds like saner option.

      I think there would need to be a lot of public funding, and the amount of airline lobby money against this would make it impossible.

      Good idea or not, it all comes down to money.
