But if, as the theory goes, those plants are already receiving more light (hence, the measures to block the light), blocking some of it will just bring the the light level back to normal.
Not only that, but the fact that there are large distances between these cities merely reinforces the need for high-speed rail links between them. One thing that people in countries like the US often fail to realise is that modern trains are really fast; the TGV cruises at 200mph
Those trains are wonderful, but the tracks they run on are extremely expensive to build (they are special, not the same as conventional trains) and the trains are expensive to operate. Round-trip ticket prices for the cross-france trip are between $100-$200. It makes sense if your two major cities are Paris and Lyon, and they are 250 miles apart. but not if they are New York and Los Angeles, and nearly 3,000 miles apart.
That's not to say that the North East or the West Coast couldn't benefit from high speed rail lines, just not the whole country interconnected.

All of these deaths are caused by US policy but nobody cares about people dying who are not in our country.
I don't know, how many people would die if Heroin were available at every friendly neighborhood CVS?
