The 1st True High Speed Rail System/''Bullet Train'' for the USA

Advanced countries are implementing "true" High Speed Rail/HSR systems and the US is earnestly trying to also; of the many concepts proposed, the Great Lakes HSR-GL/TGV system should be the one built. Many millions of people would be able to use the system and even more benefit from it's numerous advantages. I've received positive reviews relative to this concept from academics, consultants, the transport industries and others. This is not the Midwest HSR initiative, rather, another transportation choice/mode, a separate dedicated "true" HSR / "bullet train" system. The Great Lakes to North East US regions=25% of all US inter-city travel by road and air! The benefits of the brilliant safety records(no deaths on similar decades old Shinkansen or TGV HSR systems), non-reliance on oil(electric powered), less pollution(air and noise), and less road congestion true HSR/TGV systems offers outweigh the initial startup costs and land expropriations necessary for this new transport system. Commercial jets expel thousands of gallons of petroleum exhaust into the atmosphere and create dreadful amounts of noise(TGVs uses domestic coal and other alternative electric power and is much quieter). Ohare airport generates thousands of additional traffic congesting and polluting vehicles daily-not a concern with the Great Lakes/GL/TGV central business district/CBD or current Northeast HSR corridor/NEC CBD destinations. Astoundingly!, estimates of life expectancy of people that live within several miles of a major airport is reduced by 6 or more years due to toxic airplane emissions. In Illinois, it's also reported that the air pollution created by Ohare airport alone is greater than all electric power plants in the state combined! TGV, an alternative to more airplanes/autos. This TGV system would conserve over 2 billion gallons of fuel a year(500,000 flights), relying on alternative energies. In addition, a new airport consumes double the land that the entire GL/TGV system concept would, 15,000 vs. 7,000 acres. Lastly, discount airlines with multiple airplane/airport transfers per route have as long or longer travel times in the Northeast quarter of the US than most GL/NEC HSR route travel times.
