Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power
- - - Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly said the revised forecast for power needs in Georgia showed power use in the state increasing 17 times.

Your right, best to drive a truck.
manhattan is congested so cars are not a solutoin.
I don't live in Manhattan, so why should I care ?
you guys keep saying cars are the cure
No, we say there isn’t anything to cure. We like our cars and we like our freedoms.. the last thing we wanna do is have to ride on mass transit with smelly people.
yea but what about manhattan congestion? cars are not the solution, theyre too inefficient. what about rush hour. its a problem.
Inner cities are not the same as rural areas
so whats the cure for rush hour and congestion? not more cars. not a congestion tax.
No one cares about China’s railways
Getting rid of people like you.
Mainland China is as large as the U.S. Where are all the railways in western China? And what do people do in eastern China if they don't live near one of those railways? Your picture doesn't show a cure to rush hour traffic. It shows high speed rail linking cities. Taking that instead of airplanes. That's fine, but it doesn't solve highway congestion.
high speed rail does solve rush hour in part. its way more efficient. they even ship goods on it which is more competitive.
What in part? The people participating in rush hour are either going to work from their homes or back home again from work. You get on high speed rail at your city's station to go to next city station or beyond. It doesn't drop you off locally. Local subways are fine in a highly congested area. But are impractical for suburbs. Bus networks are fine but are nowhere near as efficient as a car. And when you ship goods by high speed rail you still have to load them from trucks or offload them onto trucks. It's much more efficient to use freight trains that can carry a lot more.
theres high speed rail between leeds and york UK. 2x as fast as driving. high speed between bern and basel switzerland, faster than driving.
Yes, they are.
