I don’t want fossil fuel cars

I don’t want electric cars

I want fast trains so I can go visit Grandma

(she’s a sweet old lady and I’d like to visit more often without killing the planet, my wallet, or a pedestrian)

    I did a long road trip over the Christmas break, two days of driving on rural highways (1 lane each way, metres from the wheat, barley, and sheep)

    The roads paralleled a railway most of the way, but there’s no passenger rail - only farm produce

    I would’ve enjoyed doing the trip by rail, even if it was no quicker than by car. The car stayed parked practically the whole time we were at the destination
