I'll probably get lynched the the readers here, but high-speed rail SHOULD die, because the costs are so astronomical and the population densities in the US are not high enough to support it outside the NE corridor. Unless you all want to tax gasoline so its cost is >$100/gal, then there won't be either money nor ridership. My betting is on electric cars fro urban transit, along with light rail and electric buses in the cities. Those developments would move more people more efficiently, & at far less cost than inter-city high-speed rail.
