<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>Once again we see a quasi-straw man argument. (In this case, half-truths.) The proposal you link (from 2008) is hardly representative of all electrification ideas. Some rely on coal or nuclear generation, while recently natural gas is in favor.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is not a straw man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, the article I linked does not represent all thinking about the electrification of railroads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it certainly is aligned with the article that the original poster mentioned as the basis of his opening thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><em>Trains</em> recently ran an article by Scott Lothas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will have to check that last name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, it all connects back the non-oil transportation system with the objectives I listed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No straw man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In many ways, the FRA is on the same page as evidenced by some of there statements. </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">And this particular group of thinkers is not about to use coal or nuclear to generate the electricity.</span></span></span></p>
