Re: TGV: Triumph of the State (4.00 / 3)

Check out the CNN video of the record run! There is an on-site reporter who knows all the right details, and there is a talking head. Around the middle, the tslking head interrupts, and in an unbelievably dismissive and arrogant tone, asks why such leisure travel needs such speed or something... the on-site reporter is speechless for a second.

Watching the video, it seems a hell of a lot more like a jet bomber than a train.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: TGV: Triumph of the State (none / 0)

I can't get the CNN video to work.

Anyone have an idea what to do?

Consider yourself lucky.
