danwentzel, 4 months ago to california The most important rail project that no one seems to know about in Southern California is Link US, which will create run-through tracks, meaning Union Station will have run-through service rather than be a stub. This service is as important to future #regionalrail #highspeedrail #intercityrail service in Southern California as the Regional Connector project was to Metro Los Angeles. #rail #hsr #California #LosAngeles https://www.metro.net/projects/link-us/

adamjcook, 9 months ago to random I want to celebrate this more (as a huge proponent of US #manufacturing), but I disagree with the #IRA’s point-of-sale rebates for #BEVs. Advanced manufacturing credits for some domestic #battery production? Sure. Not POS vehicle rebates. And I believe that the POS rebates will ultimately be far more than the CBO scoring suggests. It was a missed opportunity to allocate those funds to broaden US manufacturing competency. https://emoltzen.substack.com/p/a-year-into-the-ira-billions-are

adamjcook, 9 months ago Instead, we should have invested heavily in subsidizing domestic #manufacturing of advanced #rail technologies and trainsets. Further, we should have heavily incentivized local governments to buildout #RegionalRail - something that many metro areas desperately need. It is a deadlocked “chicken-or-the-egg” problem for many US metro areas and we needed massive funding to break the cycle. Instead, #cars will be further entrenched via the #IRA’s flaws. We will pay dearly for this in time.
