I have been looking up a lot of info on the Florida HSR. I still have a few questions. <br /> <br />One site I went to talked about how they are going to have all electic TGV like trains. Another site talks about Bombardier's jet train. What will they really be using? <br /> <br />Have they started any construction? I read they are supposed to start this year. <br /> <br />I am really excited about this line and the whole theory behind it. While I live in Iowa, and will probably not ride the train except on a vacation in several years, it is a great step forward for passenger transportation in the United States. It will be great when all of the shorter trips you can take by train, and then link up to air travel for the cross country flights. <br /> <br />I really hope they are using the electric TGV technology. The jet train looks like a problem. Also, it is not a long term solution. We will always have electricity, but fossil fuels are running out. Electricity can always be produced from coal (we have a several hundred year supply) or hopefully more nuclear power and other sources of clean power. They might save money with the jet train, but they will probably wi***hey had gone electric down the road. <br /> <br />
