    most trains are driven with electric motors the motors are powered by diesel generators on the train your proposal is ... to move the diesel generators OFF the train, and then incur transmission losses to get the power TO the train? Can you explain why you want this bad idea?https://twitter.com/yfreemark/status/1297973744057700356 …

    In the US, we've more than doubled the amount of freight we ship via truck since 1980. We've also done virtually no work to electrify the freight rail system.

        To reiterate: “your proposal is ... to move the diesel generators OFF the train, and then incur transmission losses to get the power TO the train? Can you explain why you want this bad idea?” Unless you want on-train nuclear power plants, well now that’s cool. ☢️ 🚞

        Anyone who asks this question has never breathed CA air. They are batshit environmentalists and I 100% get it. If you need more energy, but don't have to spew smoke to get it... /And then they ban nuclear...pic.twitter.com/ASiOuOoXZn

        Also, for passenger rail, electric trains can accelerate/brake faster than the existing diesel trains, which matters for passenger quite a lot (5-10 minute off the SF-SJ run) and may or may matter for freight in economically important ways.

        Maintenance is an afterthought to be handled by The Unmentionables, far below the pay-grade of an average Policy Wonk.

        Hello from@the East where we have much more efficient electric trains driven by nuclear energy and hydro (nuke and hydro are an unbeatable combination). Unlike diesel trains they are much lower in maintaince as you don’t have to repair a huge Diesel engine and with brushless moto

        Urban studies phd may not understand that when people talk "renewables", electricity isn't just "in the air" for the taking. Certainly doesn't seem to understand how electricity even gets to a motor to begin with and how much it costs to send it. Explains global warming panic.
