First off, I wouldn't quite call people living next to the airports lucky - People in Chicagoland have been suffering the noise and traffic for years, and now they're failing to prevent a 3rd airport from being built (many there say we need high-speed trains - the maglevs are silent!), contributing to light, sound and air pollution. One family member I have lives near LaGuardia Airport (I know, it's NYC), and whenever I'm there it's not even worth looking up to see one of man's greatest inventions (besides trains, of course).How many people travel from Kansas City to Denver anyway? Wouldn't a flat trip from southern Kalifoonia to Nevada have much more traffic, and save the globe a little bit more? LA is so car-oriented it's almost disgusting - but that's only because everything is so spread out, and none of the other modes of transport are even near satisfactory or efficient. Honestly, they'd need supertrains to get around town! If there was a formidable system, such as BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or light rail, coming to one termini like they do in Rome (say, Union Station), and then there was a high-speed route between Las Vegas and San Francisco, then the world would be saved form global warming hands down. The Acela works well, but read this over and over again as you may, America will NEVER abandon their cars (they'll convert to the Toyota Prius "Hey, I'm helping!") and their über-fast airplanes. It might not make sense, but talk to someone with no knowledge of trains and see how much they care about trains.Travel websites: How would you like to travel? By car, or by airplane?
