    on the plus side, the more people are afraid of this, the cheaper I can buy land under power lines.

    What about leg room over time? I spend 4 hours in the air with little leg room, and then I get all the leg room I want. During that same distance on a train, you get adequate legroom for 2 days.

    frankly, I would rather be uncomfortable for 4 hours then on a train for 2 days

    and I've seen most of the country, and most of it is blah. the rest is interesting for 10 minutes.

    "Also, quite interestingly, it's the standard way to travel long distances for Amish and Mennonites."
    no, that's' not interesting at all. it's what we call 'expected'.

    moving hotel room? yeah, if you spend about 800+ per night. I was thinking of taking my family from PDX to Los Angels(then renting a car and going to disney)
    total train cost? 1500 dollars.
    flight? 1000 dollars.
    driving 750 dollars.
    so of the three option trains was the most expensive and the slowest.

    And privatizing those rails killed it. another example of the private industry unable to do infrastructure programs.
    Which is fine, they don't d [projects like that well. The government has a long history of doing them well.

    if anyone is attacking the train industry, its the train industry.

    They do stupid things. However I don't think the number would increase that much, sure people like trains...until it take 3 days to get somewhere they could fly to in 3 hours, and usually cheaper.

    If I could take a train from Portland to Las Vegas I would do so, probably every couple of years. but I am in the minority.

    potential? no, it is happening. the only potential is the end effect. And that is determined on what we do to reduce CO2.

    If you roll 2 six sides dices, your most likely out come(potential) is a seven. Not matter what that potential we know for sure a number will come up.

    dealing with change? are you high? look, if we do not reduce CO2 the earth temperature will continue to rise. Will do so until the CO2 is reduces. The fact that it may make the humans extincts doesn't matter to nature.
    There is no, well this is all the change it will cause so lets deal with it. there is continue to change, worse and worse* until it find a new balance.
    We we remove the CO2 down to 290ppm great, thing will be stable fro humans. If we let it rise things will get worse. Since we are the cause of releasing more CO2 then can be reabsorbed, it will rise until we stop, even if the reason we stop is becasue the earth isn't habitable any more.

    Your like those people who say, well then the currently frozen land will be used for farming! I always ask..then what? Cause it ain't stopping.
