Op/Ed: Oil Shocks Will Keep Coming. High-Speed Rail Can Boost Our Resilience. - Streetsblog California
"California is steadily building a new economy that runs on locally produced electricity and is connected by a world-class high-speed rail system. California High-Speed Rail will run on electric power and won't require fossil fuels to operate."
"China is aggressively building an 'electrostate,' according to a recent Washington Post report. Along with massive EV, solar and wind production, over the past twenty years China has built over 30,000 miles of electric high-speed rail - the largest bullet train network in the world."
"China's first high-speed rail line, the 72-mile Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, was opened in 2008 and carries workers at speeds of up to 217 mph between China's second and eighth-largest cities. During rush hour, trains arrive every 3 minutes."
California is developing a sustainable economy focused on locally produced electricity and a high-speed rail system. The California High-Speed Rail will operate on electric power, eliminating the need for fossil fuels. This initiative is part of a broader trend, as seen in China, which has built a vast electric high-speed rail network. China's electrification efforts have made its economy less vulnerable to global oil price fluctuations, providing efficient commuting options and reducing traffic congestion. Californians are encouraged to adopt similar sustainable transportation solutions.
