I really hope this can pierce California's bureaucracy.

  The great thing about a state such as California is that there already is a system to pierce the bureaucracy: citizen's initiatives. Given enough signatures, one could bypass the entire legislative process and appeal directly to the voters to approve a bold project like this. Ironically, piercing the bureaucracy and appealing to the voters was what Prop 1A managed to do to initially approve the high-speed rail system, but it resulted in the unambitious, problematic plan they have now.
