that rail idea between dallas and houston, etc., never got off the ground for economic reasons. they weren't going to beat southwest with $19 flights. whatever the cost of the rail, i am sure southwest could have cut prices to make the rail unattractive for most people. luv is much higher than $19 now (way higher). by the way in japan they have 747s (or whatever they use today) leaving tokyo every 30 minutes (it may be more often now) for osaka. i took one one time when we had to get there fast. they ran the 747s like a bus service, because there was so much traffic.

TAI,

Unless you have been to Japan you cannot appreciate that the application of high speed rail in Japan and the US is a greater difference than an apple and a watermelln.

I also doubt that 2000 people with 2 solar panels makes very much electricity. How big are the panels and what is the climate they would be insalled in. A single power plant supplies far more than 2000 homes.
