There has never been a more unfeasible proposal. We aren't even capable of having the railway infrastructure to accomplish something like this in a country this geographically diverse and expansive. I'm struggling to find out how it would even be an environmentally positive situation. Besides, who the hell wants to spend 16 hours on a train from NY to Seattle? Call it "high speed" all you want, but its still 3,000 miles, and it is going to have plenty of stops along the way

May as well have come out and proposed that everything replace all auto traffic with wind-powered hovercraft by the year 2020

I'm looking forward to the one to Hawaii, though.
