- "the goal instead is high speed trains that accommodate more people"
No; we want legroom.

We don't want that either. Isn't your electricity nuclear power anyway? What's the problem with consuming too much clean energy? You're in direct competition with airline travel, so every bit of increased consumer attractiveness is a *net social benefit* with regards to climate change. What exactly is the hangup?
Smells like cost-cutting MBA's shoving through unpopular changes, with a sugarcoating of social responsibility. This future sucks. I want my atomic flying cars back.
Yes we do!
