We've been warning about dangerous infrastructure for years now. It'll only get worse until we start building for the next millennium.
Sure, and that future likely involves a lot of trains.
I want super high speed rail instead of airplanes. I want regular high speed rail instead of highways. I want medium speed rail instead of roads. And so on. The technology is there, and we already have the land for most of it, we just need to stop building so many roads and actually build solid rail infrastructure.
Por que no los dos?
No one is going to build a train stop near Ione, NV, one of the places I went to on a road trip.
I don't understand why it has to be a zero sum game.
edit: seems like the fuckcars cult has infested Lemmy. lmfao that sucks. It's cool though, because not even you cultists can bring me down. Oh and just to clarify: I definitely agree with where you guys are coming from, but you take it to an xtreme that I can't get on board with.
No, nothing has "infested" Lemmy. It's just that many people understand, that rails are much more efficient than roads and that individual traffic on large scale has no future. At least if you want our future to be survivable.
