[quote user="HarveyK400"]The Eric A Morris article link referencing a Booze, Allen, Hamilton study for the UK DOT argues that construction emissions eliminates the advantage of HSR over air transport; but does this take into account alternative airport improvement and maintenance needs?  Or road improvements if auto travel is not diverted? [/quote]   The core purpose of HSR is the reduction of CO2 emissions by mankind.  Therefore, it does not follow that it is okay for HSR to emit CO2 because other forms of transportation emit CO2.  For HSR to be viable, it must emit significantly less CO2 than alternate forms of transportation.  To achieve that goal, wind-generated electricity is the only viable option. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Here is an article citing the Booz Allen Hamilton report: <o:p></o:p> <A href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/aug/17/high-speed-rail-environment">http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/aug/17/high-speed-rail-environment</A>
