hsr is america's transportation solution

#1 climate solution
High speed rail is the single largest climate solution that can decarbonize most of our transportation network quickly. This includes replacing most domestic flights, up to half the car trips, and replacing the ecommerce shipment system currently using energy-intensive, cross-country trucks and airplanes. No other solution comes close to all this for solving climate change.
smart, efficient, modern
HSR is the most advanced transport mode on the planet! Trains are comfortable and fast, while also being clean, green and efficient - powered by electricity from renewables. You can't get much greener than that! On board you have all the luxuries with room to relax, USB and power plugs, movies, good food, and no need to put away your tray table or electronic devices.
oil-free transport
HSR is electrically powered and can run 100% on clean, safe renewable energy. One high speed train powered by the wind can carry more passengers than 9 oil-burning airplanes! America currently uses 20 million barrels of oil every day, most of it for transportation - so switching to oil-free high speed rail is a huge climate and energy security solution all in one.
