Oh, and apparently the high speed trains are electric (without needing fancy batteries), with a large renewable component, and they have an extensive network with some measure of privatization, serving even small villages. I'm not really sure where the have-not gap is when you look at the situation in the states. You are pretty much stuck with a car here unless you live/work in the city. I would gladly read a book vs drive.
