6. It isn't cheap, but it may be possible to use electricity to run them
at some time in the future. That means they could eventually be run on solar energy, other types of alternative energy. They would be great for us in California because they could link our capital, Sacramento to the rest of the state.

The drive from Southern California to the northern part of the state is very slow so people fly --- and use jet fuel to do it. That's really bad for the environment.

So fast rail is an important part of protecting the environment.
