I was hoping we would be given hoverboards that run on unicorn farts.

I supposed if you implement 80% carbon taxes and double the income tax rate in order to pay for massive social welfare programs, then no one would be able to afford to fly anywhere. Maybe that's the goal

We are worrying about America, but the notion that we need to spend trillions of dollars on something Americans won't use because "we need to worry about us" is stupid.
The United States alone cannot effect any change when China and India are increasing their CO2 emissions exponentially every year. Or do they exist on a different planet and I'm not aware of it?

"We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast..."

Even if they started building that high speed rail today, they’d be lucky to get even 10% of that completed by 2029.

This sounds like indoctrination.
providing resources, training, and high-quality education, including higher education, to all people of the United States, with a focus on frontline and vulnerable communities, so that all people of the United States may be full and equal participants in the Green New Deal mobilization

Probably from a cheesemaker. Or ananalyst on an LSD microdose schedule. I can confirm, it is a nothingburger....Lets get some sleep.

How will we have chem trails if we have no planes? Also, think of how badass our new tactical fighter locomotive attacks will be!

Forget the costs of this, this isn't logistically possible to replace 100% of domestic flights.
Cost, you just pay for it...duh
Logistics? Get out of here with your negativity
Can you imagine the delays with just 1 rail going down? Lol
The fact they actually proposed this, lmao
Also, if Mother Nature is changing the climate, which has happened numerous times, there isn't a damn thing the human race can do about it.
I don't have the link, someone posted the climatologist at The Heartland laughing about climate change sky screamers. Basically saying we have an impact but it's a minute variable.

This is SO frickING RETARDED
So...
According to the FAA, there are 43k flights and 2.6 million passengers PER DAY in the USA. Source: LINK /
assuming you can put 500 people on a train, you would have to have 5200 high speed trains running every day (and not running into each other).
Plus...what is going to power these 5200 trains? Unicorn farts?
Climate change acolytes are the window lickers of the scientific world.

Good luck with that. We don't even have roads connecting.

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

I am a fan of high speed rail and I believe it can be a great complement to air travel at certain distances. When the Japanese were looking in to expansion of their high speed rail in to America, they selected Dallas to Houston, as it was the right distance to beat both air travel and highway travel.
But all this Green New Deal shite undermines any legitimate progress.
