President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.
According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.
The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: “We believe in this.”
Yeah I don’t hate it because of where it is, though I do think that because of the state it’s in it will disproportionately favor certain people. But I’d rather the East Coast-Midwest line largely for its practicality. Once we’ve got NYC-Chicago you’re never getting rid of that shit if it’s good. And it could be more easily expanded than the texas route
