Notably, the Times article completely ignores the fact that China built an entire nationwide HSR network, in a country about the size of the lower 48 states, in the same time as Obama has been president. Obama’s plans weren’t flawed, if anything they weren’t ambitious enough. But they would have worked out fine if Republicans hadn’t sabotaged them from day one. cahsrblog.com

A friend of mine lives up in the San Gabriel Mountains and he is all for it. I forgot to mention he is a diehard Republican but understands that electric powered trains are the "way to go" with increasing fossil fuel prices. Since he is an ol EE buddy of mine from college days he understands the numbers. Not to mention no added pollution! They are building a big, new 500 KV power transmission line above his house from the Mohave desert area into the LA basin. He sent me some pictures of the big helicopters bringing in the towers a couple days ago. Really impressive. More large scale, clean, renewable solar power for the masses.. Go Solar! Eric
