So I guess we need the return of smog?
China is really kicking our ass there. Trump will stand up to those smog champions.
While China is pumping trillions into alternative energy....in America, we're debating bathroom laws
More important, we’re not investing in renewable and green energy. A big problem. While China and others, including Europe and Japan, are heavily investing in modern (electric) speed railroads, we’re still stuck with old and slow trains that run with coal and pollute the environment twice: through their own emissions and the resulting increase in street traffic. The public transportation system in the US, especially railways, is outdated for a very long time. Actually we’re a third-world country with regard to railroads, which is pretty sad for a superpower. We should be investing in our infrastructure rather than the military or build a stupid and useless wall.
Rail, whatever it be, heavy rail, LRT, streetcar, etc is generally opposed by conservatives. Had to fight tooth and nail for a streetcar in Milwaukee and then have the suburbs come in and try and make it fail. Wisconsin for example has also made it illegal for different municipalities to work together on transit.
