I will never understand the American Liberls love affair with high speed trains. Combat global warming?! Seriously?! the trains are Electric. Where does the electricity come from? 61% of all our electricity in this country comes from COAL !
Essentially these are COAL powered trains.
Liberals are mostly against hydroelectric dams.
against nuclear electricity
against coal electricity
when we all ride on high speed rail and have plug in cars, where do we get the electricity from ?!
@MetalDetroit then what are we going to use for electricity if they don't want any power plant, and what are we going to use for fuel if they don't want to drill for oil? Good luck getting around with hang gliders, sailboat, horses and wagons, and hand cart with out oil, we'll won't be able to drive our car, take a train, take a Bus, or fly, with out electricity we won't be able to opperate our electric scotters, electric cars, Monorails, or high speed tains.
I will refuse to buy a car. I will take mass transit when possible. I will refuse to subscribe to the OIL companies motto for the "American" way of life until we get something like this. If they want to continue to make us drive gas guzzlers, so as to kill HSR, I won't be part of it. And from now on I'll only vote for candidates that do not get mentioned with ties to OIL companies and/or support HSR.
Loved when the Governor of louisiana opposed the President's idea for create high speed rail in this country. Because the technolgy hadn't been created yet!
Didn't expect that close-minded thinking from the son of immigrants. Well fuck him and his ignorant comment. The tech has only been around since 1964.
I just got back from a whirlwind tour of Europe. Even their regular-speed inter-city rail system (all electric) is better - faster, smoother, more convenient and well-run, and more extensive - than the U.S. At first I thought I was on high-speed rail. Then I got on the -real- high-speed rail (Thalys, TGV, Eurostar) and WOW! Especially the TGV. It's time the USA caught up to the 20th century.
Does anyone need any more proof that Americans have been sold into slavery for the oil industry?
Tampa to Orlando was killed by Rick Scott, the Republican Governor of Florida whose campaign contributions came, in large part, from the oil industry and who the people there now despise.
Unlike many countries in the world, US does not have these energy efficient transportations because the rich people who owns oil companies and runs the airline business will not be happy. Those people also runs the US government. Coincidence? Instead, people can drive their gas-guzzlers on the highway for 5 hours, emptying their pocket to pay for gas and the troops in middle east so that in the future they can pay even more money on gas! How exciting!
The united states will rely on the tried and true method of the petroleum needing internal combustion engine and thus continue to transfer the wealth of the united states to the arabs and mexicans and venezualans and nigerians and iranians and russians and....
Well, we can't do that because we're in debt to China and other countries around the world. DERP. Also we have something not every country has... A freaking road to no where. lol

@williejenkins666 Just one HSR train can carry over 800 people, at full speed and comfort. What do you call 800 cars on a freeway? A traffic jam. And all 800 drivers will hate being stuck in it.
If you take away highway funds, the highways will crumble...because of OVERUSE! The solution is to get cars off the road. Doing that will solve both the excessive wear issue, and lighten up traffic jams all at once.
BTW, I'd also add "Defense" to your list of what costs taxpayers big money too.
BTW, what's the difference between an Amtrak-like money pit, and an Interstate Highway System-like money pit? Answer? About $46 Billion dollars a year, according to the DOT. Just a few years of highway subsidies could pay for all of the HSR America needs. Maybe you should stop scapegoating Amtrak, and look at what's REALLY costing the taxpayers money.
@williejenkins666 "I'd love to know how many miles China can build a track vs. the USA per mile of cost."
That's easy. China spent $150 billion (US equiv.) on HSR, and they will have over 10,000 km, so that's roughly $15 million/km. The US has invested $8 billion, and we have...well, we have zero km, which renders that calculation useless.
The fact is that we will never know China's cost per km compared to the US...UNTIL WE START BUILDING HSR OURSELVES!
It's the Department of Labor's, the Department of Transportation's, and the Department of Energy's mindless drivel.
It's Siemens', Talgo's, Alstom's, and Bombardier's, mindless drivel.
It's EuroStar's, Japan Railway's, Deutsche Bahn's, and THSRC's mindless drivel.
So, when you're done convincing those government agencies, international train manufacturers, and HSR system operators that their assumptions are based on mindless drivel, get back to me.
@williejenkins666 "I'd love to know how many miles China can build a track vs. the USA per mile of cost."
Actually, you could have easily found that out yourself too... $150 billion US equiv. divided by 10,000 km = roughly $14 million per km in China. In the US, it's $8 billion divided by...well...we don't have HSR, so that's 0 km. So that calculation is meaningless.
But you knew that right? You know the answers to all the questions you ask.
After reading past your defensive insults, I found the answers to your three questions. #1 can be found on the Bureau of Labor Statistics page on the Department of Labor website. Go look. #2 varies with the project, and would be in the project's Environmental Impact Report. #3 varies with each project too. There are too many fools that want to delay, or deny a good idea being implemented. And lawyers are all happy to take their money.
@williejenkins666 The major cities in the US are laid out 300-500 miles apart, which is PERFECT for HSR. Airlines don't want those routes because they lose money on them. Driving would be slower than HSR, and you could rent a car at your destination for less than your gas money.
HSR works in Japan, and China, and everywhere else I mentioned. The only problem is that deniers like you believe that it works everywhere, except in the USA.
BTW, after reading your posts, I more fully understand the concept of hyperbole. After reading my responses, I hope you more fully understand sarcasm.
@williejenkins666 When goods can flow across a more energy- and time-efficient service, and when employees can get to their jobs more easily, and also get to them from further away, I was under the misguided impression that those circumstances would aid in an economic recovery. But I haven't taken an economics class, have I? Anyway, I was referring to future events, but I must have lied about them too. Thank you for calling me out.
@williejenkins666 And when I mentioned emerging economies, I wanted to fool people into thinking that only Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and Argentina were the only emerging economies planning for HSR.
And the phrase "All major countries" is vague enough to be considered a lie. I engineered that vagueness to trick everyone watching this video. And the $6 billion the US will invest is still a heavy investment...maybe even compared with the $150 billion that China has already invested.
When I mentioned fully industrialized countries, I thought everyone would think only of Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK. Oh yeah, and Switzerland too. But I was counting on everyone forgetting about Canada and Australia, so I lied about it.
What is wrong with this country. We dont have affordable healthcare, we're being left behind in education, our infrastructure is going to hell... Where are the innovators and risk takers?
No news? No personal observations? Not even a rumor to back yourself up?
Come on! Tell me! Why am I lying? What makes you think I'm lying? Where is your proof that I am lying? Give me more information about why you think the way you think.
Or...do you even think at all? Do you just have a PC, a Youtube account, and more time than common sense? Do you just enjoy trolling/spamming/defacing threads with your wanton ignorance?
If americans don't spend much of their money on weapon enterprises and preventing other country's development...They spend it all on their ppl,they would surely be the no.1 country of everything in this planet I guess?
@clat1 nobody here uses teleporters either, but if they would build them we would use them...you have to agree that your logic is kinda bs. once the trains are there and people see for themselfs how they make travel easier, they will use them. especially in high density areas the us would benefit, since you didnt give a crap abbout public transportation that much until recently. you can only build roads to a certian width...
@wyfjyf maybe because its not part of the peoples rebulic of china?! and if you are one of those guys who thinks its part of communist china, get real. those people would rather die then living under some ruler who forbids them free information. and if you arent, just ignore the last sentence ;) good day anyways.
@AntiChinksFederation please, do remember to take antipsychotic drugs! you mom was a whore who didn;t give you proper family eduction, and your country's public education system also failed u. that is why you are retard+manic... sigh. what nigger-redneck coffee color mixture.LOL
Americans don't need bullet trains because Americans are slow and inefficient. When I went to Los Angeles 3 years ago, I was shocked by the slowness of speed that the people working in the airport. Such incredibly slow speed is simply unseen in East Asia, not even China. It's the working attitude of the Americans that is the core of the problem, not bullet train.
So, you are saying that Americans can improve the transportation infrastructure, connect metropolitan areas more efficiently, travel in greater safety and comfort, and lower carbon emissions by 60%...
...by having a better working attitude at the airport???
@lenojames I mean combating global recession. Bullet train is simply a hardware, but it doesn't solve the recession problem without people having the right software in their minds. Working attitude is the fundamental.
@AntiChinksFederation what r u talking about? that has nothing to do with the discussion; u r jz grasping for shit to slam china with and yes US has lots of bike trails for ppl too; ever hear of the Appalachian Trail?? i bet u haven't
anyway stick to the topic, dont go off on tangents
@maxuezhi8 Just leave this AntiChink loser alone... He is just an envious hater who cannot find a girlfriend, because of his ugly face. So, to satisfy his libido he goes to internet to shout like a loser, that's only way he can feel himself somehow useful
@AntiChinksFederation we are talking about trains running on electricity here, not cities so there is no comparison; do u live in the US? i dont believe u do b/c if u did u would know that US highways in a lot of places especially around the large cities are in really bad shape; and for ur information China's major cities have a lot more people in them than US cities so of course there is going to be more pollution, besides New York and Los Angeles isnt so clean either
@AntiChinksFederation US highways need alot of repair plus way too many cars on them anyway; as for planes, airport security is a hassle, u get fondled by the TSA and planes are not as environmentally friendly as HSR anyway
Chinese and China are not parasites because China and chinese in China and oversea are rich now. Oversea Chinese borrow money to other races and China borrow money to poor country (Africa ) and rich country (USA ) now . China is Giver not Taker. So Your talking are nonsense. You are parasite and stupid , idiot , garbage , trash , mother fucker.
China is communist is only name now . China is Capitalist country since 1979 because China open American Capitalist to invest in China. China will be Democracy country in 2025 because of Chinese middle class and china opposition democracy leaders. America spend too much money on Sports because they pay million money to Black American players . American Sport boss should cut salary to these black players.
@AntiChinksFederation Do you know Chink Word? Chink mean small eye people . West call all East Asian people include Japanese, Koreans and Chinese but not only Chinese. You can look at this Chink word in Wikipedia in Google search. Your general knowledge is also weak. Shame on you . You also will fall in life because of your jealous mind.
You are jealous to Chinese but World welcome Chinese because World people can eat World # 1 delicious food - Chinese food because of oversea Chinese. World recognize Chinese food is #1 and French food is # 2. Do you know that?
China is Creditor of USA now because China borrow money to USA about $ 700 billions ( China took US government bonds for borrow money ). Your China financial knowledge is very weak and out of date. Are you sleeping ?
@AntiChinksFederation China minimum salary per month will surpass American in 2020 because China economic growth is 10 % per year and USA is only 3 % per year . China has foreign Reserve fund $ 2 Trillion and US has $ 13 Trillion in Debt. China and Chinese are Rich Guys and American people are Poor Guys now .
@AntiChinksFederation Chinese in China minimum salary is US $ 600 per month now and American minimum salary is only $ 1100 per month ( minimum wages is $7.25 per hour in New York = $ 1100 per month ). I know these facts because I live in China for 10 years and I live in New York , USA for 11 years. So Chinese salary only 2 times lower than American but not 10 times. Your facts are out of date and wrong.
You registered you tube from China .So You are muslim and Tibetan terrorist and traitor of China if you are muslim and Tibetan in China. You are traitor of Chinese and China if you are Chinese.
@AntiChinksFederation Country wealth depend on How many people can buy cars every year but not depend on GDP per Capita. 13 million Chinese buy cars every year since 2009 but 10 million Americans buy cars every year in 2009. So Who is more rich?
Americans blow so much money on beer, football, basketball players, wars, corruption, and welfare that they dont have money for anything else. We get taxed everything here in America to even the basic needs, your not getting away and yet Managers are getting paid in millions compare to a worker 8/hr. Its unemployment checks are just keeping lazy americans from getting work. Its time to put that money into jobs like China is doing right now.
China is communist is only name now . China is Capitalist country since 1979 because China open American Capitalist to invest in China. China will be Democracy country in 2025 because of Chinese middle class and china opposition democracy leaders. America spend too much money on Sports because they pay million money to Black American players . American Sport boss should cut salary to these black players.
American Government should ban American corporations and companies who are shipping jobs to India and China and other oversea countries because there are many unemployed people in USA now.

@AntiChinksFederation At least the government here in China is serious about reducing the emissions of greenhouse gasses, not like in the States where Obama had to start from zero again with his Climate plan because now he has Republicans who'll stand in his way thanks to the midterm elections.
This AntiChink Federation guy registered you tube from China but I think he is not Chinese and Vietnamese . I think he is muslim terrorist in Xinjiang, China or Tibetan terrorist from Tibet.
America MUST develop a sophisticated HSR system in order to stay competitive, modern and simply respectable in the eyes of the world. High speed rail is fast, efficient and ecological mode of transport which can move massive amounts of people from A to B fast. It costs alot but it would make a good sense to invest one of the US "stimulus packages" into something like this instead of just ordinary consumption. Apart from creating employment it would also create an amazing new mode of transport.
@AntiChinksFederation Well, sorry to disappoint you that my country too wish to improve it's mass-transportation system by learning from Europe, China and Japan.
Pollution still exist in China, that's a fact. But what happen if things started to improve. And what excuse you'll have at that time?
I'm so, so jealous of China right now. Canada is 5 times worse than the states when it comes to infrastructure. We only have on commercial train that charges insane fees (via rail), half our roads and highways are falling apart; christ, you're better off going through the states to get to Manitoba if you're in southern Ontario. Our saving grace is that we have one majour highway that connects most of Canada.
Beijing-Shanghai high speed rail: 820 miles (1320 km) at 235 mph (380 km/h) in 4 hours and 30 minutes, with 80 kWh per passenger (equivalent to 2.2 gallons (8.3 liters) of gasoline).
America has peaked. That bridge over Mississippi that collapsed a couple of years age is just the beginning of the end of American infrastructure. But the world will not care, as the only things made in America it needs are made in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Oh yes, American corn and soy beans are also appreciated.
Do you know that the period of time spent in taking trains and planes to travel are very closed? Since no check-in is needed when using train service. Also the density of train is so high that you don't need to wait for a long time to board.
Meget bra innslag. Om 18 mnd. har Kina 42 høyhastighetslinjer. USA får sin første høyhastighetslinje i 2014 som vil traffikere strekningen Tampa og Orlando i delstaten Florida.
US problem is lobbist promotion for defense spending, in z modern world, there is no need 750 oversea millitary bases. What for? Cold war mentality is history
China is kicking the US's ass in energy efficient transport thus will have a strategically greater trade advsantage. You just have to look at what the Rep. wanna be Gov Snott walker is saying against kinda-High speed rail to know what a pickle the good 'ol US is in, what a jerk. He doesn't want a FREE HSR line cos it may divert funds from building more highways.
you wrong. Train more save gasoline than Cars for future country. So We don't need to depend on Saudi Arabia oil . We should not give money to saudi for oil because Saudi support Muslim terrorist who are making USA and Europe to Islamic countries.
Chinese building high speed rail way cuz we have a large population to transport so it is a nessesity. Have to releas the presure of transport anyway.
That kind of high-speed rail development in China can only be done in a country where public opinion are not taken into consideration. Building in China is like playing SimCity, you can do what you want.
@ManjuSu Ya, its more benefiting for the economy and progress, but imagine your 100 years old family house being knock off and you and your family being forcefully relocated to some other place to make way for railway, highway, or some villas for the close friends of the party. Don't take me wrong, I'm just concern about some people's welfare, compensation, and most importantly freedom.
@Ryankkw Then there would practically be no highspeed-rail. Building a HSR line in China involves building hundreds of bridges and tunnels given the geographical situation and building a HSR line doesn't actually involve knocking down a 100 years old family house since the lines themselves go through vast rural farms etc.
@gudi1982 One day China will suffer from this progress, history repeats itself, the mighty Tang dynasty and any of the Chinese previous dynasty had its zenith, but because of lack in care of the common people, every single dynasty ends in people's revolt.
@Ryankkw Sometimes planning is a good thing, and it's something that the American gov't has failed at miserably the last few decades, aside from building a giant stockpile of weapons we'll never use.
Some people always say, if high speed rail makes money, somebody in the private sector would have already build it. I say....if USA's military makes money, somebody in the private sector would have already field a Army-Air Force-Navy-Marine and charge Americans monthly protection fee. Since I already have my automatic weapon, I don't need protection, why do I have to pay tax dollar for US military's service?
If a high speed rail system will do away with air transport, then go for it. Else it is just another dumb idea. How about instead of commuting 100 miles to work, get a job closer to home or move to the city you work in. No, that sounds too much like common sense.
1:55, U.S. will have 42 HSR lines....eventually. By that time, Chinese will have regular flights between Earth and the Moon, USA's coastal waters will be filled with oil spills.
Theres no way to build high speed train in US cuz the average weight of american is 280 lbs. imagine a train loaded with 8000 passengers.. thats over 1000 tons...almost heavier than the train itself...fast train will become slow train....american needs to work together to loose weight first.
China made junk good? You should see this China made bullet train in you tube. US can't make this bullet train. China is developed country now. China is not Third world country now. china Bullet train travel by 380 Km/hour ( 230 miles / hour) . China bullet train is faster than high speed US cars.
Well, what do you expect, Chinese government the land in China. It takes them fraction of the time to build infrastructure. If NIMBY don't move, Chinese government use both carrot and "stick" on them.
Say all you will about china's political system/leaders but you have to give credit where its due. When it comes to infrastructure building, there's no one better than china but then again what would you expect of the people who built the great wall. Good for china, showing the rest of the world how to walk instead of just talk.

BTW, what's the difference between an Amtrak-like money pit, and an Interstate Highway System-like money pit? Answer? About $46 Billion dollars a year, according to the DOT. Just a few years of highway subsidies could pay for all of the HSR America needs. Maybe you should stop scapegoating Amtrak, and look at what's REALLY costing the taxpayers money.

@williejenkins666 "I'd love to know how many miles China can build a track vs. the USA per mile of cost."
That's easy. China spent $150 billion (US equiv.) on HSR, and they will have over 10,000 km, so that's roughly $15 million/km. The US has invested $8 billion, and we have...well, we have zero km, which renders that calculation useless.
The fact is that we will never know China's cost per km compared to the US...UNTIL WE START BUILDING HSR OURSELVES!
But you knew that, already didn't you?

@williejenkins666 It's not my mindless drivel.
It's the Department of Labor's, the Department of Transportation's, and the Department of Energy's mindless drivel.

It's EuroStar's, Japan Railway's, Deutsche Bahn's, and THSRC's mindless drivel.
So, when you're done convincing those government agencies, international train manufacturers, and HSR system operators that their assumptions are based on mindless drivel, get back to me.

@williejenkins666 "I'd love to know how many miles China can build a track vs. the USA per mile of cost."
Actually, you could have easily found that out yourself too... $150 billion US equiv. divided by 10,000 km = roughly $14 million per km in China. In the US, it's $8 billion divided by...well...we don't have HSR, so that's 0 km. So that calculation is meaningless.
But you knew that right? You know the answers to all the questions you ask.

@williejenkins666 The major cities in the US are laid out 300-500 miles apart, which is PERFECT for HSR. Airlines don't want those routes because they lose money on them. Driving would be slower than HSR, and you could rent a car at your destination for less than your gas money.
HSR works in Japan, and China, and everywhere else I mentioned. The only problem is that deniers like you believe that it works everywhere, except in the USA.

America MUST develop a sophisticated HSR system in order to stay competitive, modern and simply respectable in the eyes of the world. High speed rail is fast, efficient and ecological mode of transport which can move massive amounts of people from A to B fast. It costs alot but it would make a good sense to invest one of the US "stimulus packages" into something like this instead of just ordinary consumption. Apart from creating employment it would also create an amazing new mode of transport.
