> Build out a similar high speed rail network
That is actually an EU project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Rail_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Rail_network and they are working on it, but it will take decades to complete, I follow closely the Berlin-Palermo axis for personal interest, and plenty of sections are still just announcement in some press releases.
