Reposted by Owen MitchemCalifornians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail.org · 09/09/2026Too often the North American response to escalating transit costs is to aim lower - hydrogen instead of electric trains, low- instead of high-speed rail. We need to fix the root cause of high costs - onerous permitting, weak state capacity, unreliable funding - not settle for less. 111627
