  Good article as a rebuttal. One caveat: the comparison between high-speed and conventional rail is overshadowing the privatization/market forces of the operators themselves. HSR will be invariably more expensive to run because the energy costs are much higher, but a lot of that price tag is — I assume — the profit margin of the private company. Public rail can run at cost, but private can’t.
