Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence

The flashy rail projects are the very HSR projects to build bullet
trains serving urban areas with millions of people.

But the role of rail in supporting sustainable extends beyond the
bullet train system alone. It may not be critical to the financial
success of these bullet trains to provide service to people living in
urban areas of 50,000 to 200,000 ~ but its critical to these people to
have access to some form of sustainable intercity transport.

Indeed, if we are going to be harvesting wind power, solar power,
sustainably coppiced biocoal, geothermal, run of river hydro, and
other sustainable resources ... we are going to be creating incomes in
areas away from the 1m+ cities. We best look after the needs of the
people who come to those areas looking for work.
