    It's embarrassing. This is what we will solve with the #GreenNewDeal. We must be ambitious.https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1165383531108823040 …

    Japan has trains that can reach nearly 200 miles per hour. France began high-speed train service in the '80s. China has the world's fastest and largest high-speed rail network. And the U.S., well the U.S. has next to nothing. Watch the full video here. http://cnb.cx/2HbSYnk  pic.twitter.com/gP9yyjBLsM

        Most Americans don't travel overseas so they don't really notice it but if you spend any real time in Asia and Europe you realize the United States has fallen at least an entire generation behind the rest of the world.

        The should be a least three high speed lines (the don't have to be Maglev). San Diego to Seattle - stops in between Miami to New York - stops in between Texas/Georgia to Chicago - stops in between

        We need high speed rail but you can’t just flip a switch and expect it to get done. It’s going to be really hard, and you can expect the airline and car industries to lobby heavily against it.

        Not just lobbying but permits and land acquisition are going to be a pain. Just look at the California project right now.

        I've been talking to my family about this for years. The airlines, and auto industry isn't having it. Not to mention people don't want it coming through their land without getting a piece of the money.

        The times Mark Twain reported in his train journeys in the 19th century are faster than you can get there now.

        Amtrak is the best but we definitely need to catch up.
