No emissions. It is the most sophisticated method of transportation in the world.
Any idea how many employees work because of the trains of Japan? A lot. They are highly skilled and demand perfection in their work.
This is a high speed magnetic train. The high speed is a by-product of the magnetic rail it travels on. I think Elon Musk is working on a pneumatic system. It could work.
Americans forgot how to reach for the highest ambitions and make it happen. This does not require an enormous investment that isn't already expected. I am not talking about corporate money. There are a lot of American dollars ALREADY APPROPRIATED every year for energy and transportation. It is about getting rid of the old and bringing on the new.
Example:
Power plants last about 30 years. The conventional power plants. That means the monies needed for the public's best interest is going to be available every year AND the states will be planning for these expenses AND the board of trustees of public utilities already know when INFRASTRUCTURE is becoming obsolete.
When infrastructure monies are spent on conventional methods of energy that investment is planned for 30 years, which means modernization won't happen for 30 FLYIN' YEARS!
STOP IT!
The AMBITIONS of the American people REQUIRE a new direction for investments that will change the face of energy AND remove HARMFUL greenhouse gases from the troposphere.
This can be done. This needs to be done. It needs to be done NOW!
ANYONE stating it will happen in 2050 is not using current scientific knowledge, is insensitive to the losses of Americans every year, month after month and they sure don't care about how many deaths occur because the troposphere is TOO HOT!
The money is there, the plans for that money has to change and America has to stop propagating it's own problems!
The food supply for the USA is going to be lost. This year in the Midwest spells what the future will look like. It is not the problem of the US Army Corp of Engineers, ie: New Orleans and it's category 3 hurricanes. The US Army Corp wanted to plan for THE BIG ONE. It didn't happen because politicians in Washington, DC had OTHER PLANS FOR THE MONEY. Don't talk to me about the US Army Corp. They do what they can with what they are provided. It is time they and all the other agencies working within the Climate Crisis paradigm are properly funded AND LISTENED to.
The Bay of Thailand is dead. The only majority species is squid. No other fish has survived the onslaught of the squid because their reproduction outpaces every other species. Why? Because squid will reproduce according to the temperature of the water. The warmer the water the more squid. At least the people of Thailand have squid. The American Midwest may be a place of commercial fishing if the pollution in the water comes under control.
This is not a joke. This is the Climate Crisis and the world needs to be transformed by MONIES ALREADY AVAILABLE by the year 2030.
SC Maglev, (click title above - thank you) or superconducting magnetic trains, were developed by the Central Japan Railway Company and the Railway Technical Research Institute beginning in the 1970s. Maglev trains work on the principle of magnetic repulsion between the cars and the track. The word maglev is actually a combination of the words “magnetic” and “levitation.” The magnetic levitation, or floating of the train, is achieved through the use of an electrodynamic suspension system, or EDS.

Get it right!
THIS IS NOT NEW!
American scientists were among the very first to carry the warning and helped the American people develop "Earth Day."
Get over the idea this is something new, it is not. The problem is that the USA has never risen to the demand for change required to end this crisis and reverse the effects of severe and growing threats of climate.
Climate 2050 is too late.
I do not care who is saying it, it is wrong. There is no scientific evidence to support Climate Crisis measures in 2050.
The Climate Crisis demands all measures be established by 2030. That is ten years, six months and 27 days away.
2030 is the year all scientists agree on and it is supported by scientific fact.
The Midwest of the USA is underwater.
California fires has seen a fire tornado 3 miles high. A California community is gone because of a wildfire.
The number of tornadoes in May was doubled the USA record.
An island off Puerto Rico is gone because of the enormous Climate Crisis hurricanes.
If anyone running for President of the USA wants to kick the can down the road beyond 2030, they need not run for the office.

I think we need reopen the Iran-Contra Affair to recapture THE TRUTH in the history of the USA.
Barr has never been detached from the Oval Office in any of his positions of power. The Attorney General's cabinet position has that "air" about it. The cabinet seat of the AG is supposed to be objective. But, in realizing the preconceived image acts as a shield for corruption to hide behind, it can't go unrecorded.
Barr changed history in the Iran-Contra criminal dealings. This is NOT about Weinberger's pardon, it is about the history of the USA and in this case, the abuse of power. It needs to be set straight and that level of "history steering" should never be tolerated again or NOW.
Bill Barr needs to be held responsible for his actions and let history record the level of corruption he was and is willing to carry out. It should be a stark example of what can happen and never should.
Why is it Robert S. Mueller was never Attorney General? Not asked? Why?

Washington - Weeks before (click here) former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger’s criminal trial over his role in the 1980’s Iran-Contra scandal, then-Attorney General William Barr dropped a bomb on the prosecution.
“People in the Iran-Contra affair have been treated very unfairly,” Barr told USA Today in December 1992, blasting the charges as illegitimate. “People in this Iran-Contra matter have been prosecuted for the kind of conduct that would not have been considered criminal or prosecutable by the Justice Department.”...''
The people in the Iran-Contra affair was not treated unfairly, the people of the USA was treated unfairly and cheated out of the truth and justice.
It is important the history is correct and the corruption evident all the way to the AG's office.
Barr is under the impression the Executive Branch of the USA is a free for all, so long as it can be sold to the people. I don't think so.

The US House Intelligence Committee needs to find out why George Nader was arrested a second time.
I find it odd that while the Middle East is a focus of Trump's war secretary and Bill Barr is allowing a parallel story to be constructed regarding a Deep State, this arrest takes place.
Additionally, things are not going well for Benjamin Netanyahu. He has been unable to form a government due to his insistence of having all religious students in Israel serve in the defense forces. These students have never been required to enter the Israeli military before now. There are also multiple investigations occurring.(click here) that the Prime Minister is supposed to appoint qualified persons in order to carry them out. But, the Prime Minister is dragging his feet hoping other matters will occupy the country and all the investigations will go away.
There are a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding this arrest and unfortunately, oversight falls to the US House once again. The arrest is relevant to the current House investigations. Barr is in contempt of Congress and this is a very curious arrest.

Washington - It was a few days (click here) before the one-year anniversary of US President Donald Trump’s inauguration and a Lebanese-American businessman was on his way to Mar-a-Lago.
George Nader, an international fixer whose long history included intrepid back-channel mediation between Israel and Arab countries — and a 15-year-old pedophilia conviction in Europe that has not been previously reported — was transiting through Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
It was hardly his first far-flung journey to see top aides of the world’s most powerful leader, as Nader had met the US president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and chief strategist Steve Bannon in the days before they stormed the White House.
But he encountered an altogether different scene awaiting him at the airport.
There, special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators stopped Nader, people familiar with the case said. His electronics were seized and he was then allowed to go to his lawyer. Nader later agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation, said the people with knowledge of the case as it pertains to Nader. They weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the case and demanded anonymity....

The US House needs to do more than pass bills to deal with disasters.
The US House should let the country know if it weren't for a Democratic majority the bill still would not have passed. But, the US House has to include initiatives to deal with the climate crisis whenever it passes a disaster bill.
Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change (click here)
Jurisdiction includes the Clean Air Act and air emissions; all matters related to soil, air, and water contamination, including Superfund and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the regulation of solid, hazardous, and nuclear wastes, including mining, nuclear, oil, gas, and coal combustion waste; emergency environmental response; industrial plant security, including cybersecurity; the regulation of drinking water (Safe Drinking Water Act), including underground injection of fluids (e.g., deep well injection or hydrofracking); toxic substances (Toxic Substances Control Act); noise; and all aspects of the above-referenced jurisdiction related to the Department of Homeland Security.
That description is great, however, it does not go far enough. The Subcommittee has to develop a national policy to be included in these disaster relief bills that actively evaluates the causes of the disaster and the means to end them from occurring again. There has to be a national overlay to any government spending that demands climate assessments and actions that resolve the problem of the Climate Crisis in rehabilitating the USA following the disasters.
If the assessments are included in the bill, the solutions at the grassroots will follow.
June 3, 2019
The House has approved a $19.1 billion disaster (click here) aid package despite earlier objections from Republicans.
The legislation was approved 354-58. All those who opposed it were Republicans. The Senate already passed the bill overwhelmingly and it heads to the president's desk for his signature.
President Trump has said he backed the measure, even though it did not include border money he urged Congress to add. He said he would continue pressing for that as part of separate legislation.
With Trump's signature, the legislation would help speed relief funds to communities hit by tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes, drought, flooding and other disasters. It also includes money for Puerto Rico, which is still rebuilding after 2017 hurricanes devastated significant portions of the island....
