This one sentence makes it relevant to air travel? I don't think so. All the data they use in their article is comparing CARS to TRAINS. Not a single comparison was made to an airplane. And is this really the only rebuttal you have to me breaking down your articles? Guess you weren't captain of the debate team.

The article was only 2 paragraphs...but it still supports my claim...Most so in Europe whereas the trains there are mostly electric...Yes Amtrak does run on a bio-diesel...Here is a article NOT written by Amtrak...

As for as asphalt, steel for tracks...Those things are already in place...and they do need repair...
Yes they are alot of things that humans have done to harm the earth but, claiming that airlines don't do that much damage is CRAZY...Just think how close the fuel gets to our Ozone from a plane. I am not only saying passenger planes hurt the Ozone but, military jets are worst..
Look at the sky on a clear blue day...what do you see? Jet streams...so what is jet streams?
I am saying we can agree to disagree but, do not even say I don't know what I am talking about...I do!!!
Thanks
Oh just a thought...Have you ever taking a train for pleasure? I don't look at the days as a waste of time...I make it part of my vacation. Our country is beautiful from Lake Tahoe to the Rockies to the Mississppi River or the sunrise in the Utah's deserts..and you just can't get to relax and take in all that beauty on a plane...
This is the last from me...
