Although electric vehicles don't solve road congestion, or the source of the emissions (if fossil fuel power stations are still in use). They're useful, but not a panacea.
Electric trains have the same issue, of course - and EWR isn't being electrified at present (although hopefully that will change before the eastern section is built).or the source of the emissions (if fossil fuel power stations are still in use)
...which is exactly why the manufacturing of road vehicles has grown from nothing to a huge global industry in a 100 years.They're useful
I'm certainly not anti-railway or pro-car (I'm just thinking about/commenting on the realities of the situation re. various transport modes), but the development timescales for railway projects seem glacial, not helped by the railway being unable to sustain and develop itself from sales revenue, so is dependent on politics for financial support.
