High Speed Rail
So apparently, there is a chance of high speed rails coming to US. (About time too). Although other countries have been enjoying them for quite awhile now, they're built on an much smaller scale than US. And considering that there is only $8 Million allocated to this project (and will likely cost over $40 mil) what do you think?
Is it worth it the time and money? Do you see yourself using it (if it ever came into fruition? Do you think it would last/ be a viable alternative to driving/plane? Discuss.

my response - I think its worth it. Being able to travel from one place to another at 200mph (or more) would be very convenient. And I'm not sure but I'm guessing that travelling by this HSR (high speed rail) would be less damaging to the environment than driving/plane. So win/win.
Although I'm going to assume that its going to be quite pricey when it comes out, so I don't see it being an immediate replacement for planes.
