WGM-- <br /> <br />As a consultant in the field with a lot of experience, including 2 graduate minors in environmental engineering and BS/MS education in CA (so I know where you are coming from and I empathize with you, but I don't do this work in CA so I have absolutely no vested interest in what happens in your area), (1) listen to MC--he knows what he's talking about and can provide a lot of useful information and assistance via this forum, and (2) if it's a choice between highway and rail, pick the rail, as long as it's done right (that means work to make them do it right). The environmental impacts are far, far less than the equivalent highway infrastructure, despite the horn honking (and there are ways to mitigate that). As an ex-Californian, please consider the fact that CA got itself in this mess originally by putting all its eggs in the highway basket, to the complete detriment of an already-existing and world-class public transportation infrastructure, which it then allowed to completely fall apart.
