It is really apity that no spanish company knows how to build light trains for metroplitan transport "en masse". It is fast to make, requires a lot of people to do it, and low investment on machinery (so it creeates a lot of jobs)... but you need to know how to put all the money at the same time.. and there are not enough people in the business to make the hundreds of projects required to absorve the money.

The brigth side of the proposal of the Keynnes project proposed is housing rehabilitation. This is badly needed in Spain.. and with some luck it will improve the energy savings of Spain by quite a significative amount... the new construction code forces huge saving on any new construction, and if rehabilitation is done following this code we will have a huge, green investment employing thousands of people to save energy.

Still, we need more conventional rail lines for transporting food around Spain..and we are not gettinng any... one day, really we should write a letter to Zapatero and Solbes :)

Do you have a link for that?

I'll update the diary with more bilingual content.
