Video - High-Speed Rails Too Expensive?

"The Obama administration has allocated $8 billion for high-speed rail projects taking shape across the U.S., but critics say the projects are too expensive."



I'm all for increased public transportation, anything to get us out of our climate destroying cars and airplanes. I loved riding the chunnel high speed train from England to France. Trains are so much more civilized a mode of transport than planes and auto's. We got by in the UK just fine for two years without a car. However, I'm not sure about putting a high speed line in Florida. Why build it just to watch it get washed away in a decade or two?
