This country has a great deal of woes, and our lack of modern railroads is somewhere among them. Having said that, I think we need to resign ourselves to the fact that this will never get fixed. The financial (and thus political) strength of the airline industry is too massive. The cost of all the easements that would be required is astronomical.

Besides, the United States is in the process of becoming an authoritarian regime. Establishing high-speed rail would be like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
As shown below, there are tons of large clean energy projects slated for construction in the PJM (midAtlantic) region.
Once the Republicans’ war on renewables comes to a close, things could get interesting.
They are both the results of the human need to make sense of the world around us and to unravel life’s great mysteries.
The idea of a calm presentation of the news may have a certain surface-level appeal, and, at most points in history, that may have been completely appropriate.
But what about 1933 when Hitler was coming to power in Germany?
What about 2026 while Trump is destroying American democracy?
