This map is, at present, a fantasy, but it shouldn't be. A national high-speed rail system would create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, as well as reduce our dependence on oil (foreign and otherwise) and contribute to the fight against global warning.
It makes so much sense, in fact, that it's not surprising our current dysfunctional political system can't make it happen. All the more reason to organize for and vote in 2014.
