Denmark and Germany now building the world's longest immersed tunnel

Typical response from someone who just doesn't get it. A small reduction is better than doing nothing. 10% today, 10% a year from now, and so on. Eventually technology will allow the electricity for those trains to come from environmentally friendly sources. You have to be able to think to the future, not be stuck in today, or worse yet the past.

I get it, I am just tired of all the green bullshit that is flying around out there. For the foreseeable future all that is available for electrical production is Nuke that produces waste that is only hazardous for the next 2000 years, fossil fuel which in spite of being tarred as a huge polluter is getting cleaner every day. The coal plants scrub at least 90% or better of their emissions. Gas Fired is even cleaner. Wind is a joke; you only get power when the wind blows. Tidal has possibilities that should be explored except the same greenies who are screaming about the pollution are the ones that say, "not on my beach". Solar, you only get power when the sun shines. You have battery backup, but those batteries are a pollution problem of their own. A few years ago, fluorescent light bulbs were going to be the savior of the planet, they were to cut down the amount of power. Now they are laying in landfills leaching Mercury into the environment. You say, "Eventually technology will allow the electricity for those trains to come from environmentally friendly sources." What are those sources? You don't have a clue and neither does anyone else. As my Mother used to say, "only the Good Lord and the Red Cow knows". Unfortunately, until they invent time travel, I am stuck in today and I deal in reality, not some pie in the sky down the road nirvana. The only thing that is down the road is the can that the greenies kicked there. I agree that a small reduction is better than none but the burning coal mines in China put out more pollution in one day than all the coal fired power plants in the U.S. put out in a year. Nobody seems to want to address that. I realize that because at one time I wore my rank on my sleeves I must be dumber than a box of rocks but before I retired I was the Enironmental, Safety and Health Coordinator for a very large trucking company that hauled nothing but hazardous materials.
