The new Opposition Argument for High Speed Rial in Texas

What’s happening? After Texas record setting blackouts, the proposition of rail that requires electricity to function, gets caught in the mix.

Why is this important? Opponents to high speed rail are saying “We don’t want to see more homes and lives be put at risk, increased frequency or duration of brown outs and black outs, in order to run a train.”

How will this be important? This argument of whether adequate electricity exists in Texas will continue. Just this week, InfoHive has how it impacts economic development and high speed rail and this is just the beginning.
