High Speed Rail is a big part of the plan to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. This video is a visual tour of the California High Speed Rail system.
(Courtesy Wikipedia) The California High-Speed Rail project is an expected future high-speed rail system in the state of California and headed by California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). The project was approved by California voters on November 4, 2008 with the passage of Proposition 1A authorizing US$9.95 billion in general obligation bonds for the project. The CHSRA is currently tasked with completing final planning, design, and environmental efforts. When built, high-speed trains capable of 220 mph (350 km/h) are anticipated to link San Francisco and Los Angeles in as little as two and a half hours. The planned system would also serve other major California cities, such as Sacramento, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, and San Diego.
If you had a choice of going from San Francisco to Los Angeles either by car or by high-speed rail, which one would you choose, and why?
