California voted to build high speed rail, they're spending $35B for nowhere to nowhere. If built with Shinkansen efficiency, they'd get 1000 km for the same money, more than enough for San Diego to San Francisco to Sacramento. There's simply too much bureaucracy to overcome, too many fingers in the pot, too many laws blocking expediency. The USA is a broken cruise liner full speed ahead to climate destruction and it won't be stopped without blood.
