While it's hard to envision such a unabashedly liberal climate-change proposal passing Congress in the current climate, it could provide some much needed cover for the Administration by making its goals seem modest (and moderate) by comparison. (See a graphic on the global effects of climate change...
...High-speed trains, true to their name, are fast. They travel over 150 miles per hour, which is about three times faster than a car on a highway. When you factor in traffic, travel by car is even slower in comparison.

But, the comparison is bogus. As John McCain, a military man much of his life, liked to point out to the President during the election, there is a difference between strategy and tactics. There is nothing strategic about Detroit. Over 50% of the cars sold in the U.S. are made by foreign companies. There is no reason that the number cannot go to 80%. It serves the national...
