He means the auto and airline industries are too strong meaning that they have too much power/representation in legislature thereby allowing the protection of their businesses. They are in a financial crisis, but they are being protected nonetheless and possibly bailed out because of their importance and power.

It does not take a lobbyist to note that America's population density compared to its size is incredibly thinner compared to china and japan. The cost far outweighs the benefits.
Yes it would be a vast improvement, but it would only be viable in certain areas because we are just too spread out.

You know why we don't have it in the US? The airline and automobile industries are too strong. Their lobbyists in Washington prevent Congress from passing any resolutions to build one.

High speed rail is the future of travel: clean, safe, and very fast. Their success in Europe and Asia is pushing the US to try for it, but the most difficult barrier is fighting off resistance from the airline and automobile industries.

Cost a hell of a lot of money just to create the tracks per mile

There is a large track in germany. But it isn't commercially used. Only for show and testing.
And forget about one in the US, the US government is too busy spending dollars on useless wars instead of infrastructure.

1. Private companies dont want to push for that
2. Federal Government would rather spend transportation dollars on smaller public transit efforts.
3. It would put airlines out of buisness, and anyone who has seen south park knows the government will do anything to help the airlines.
Its not because of the war or anything else like that, its because theres no real profit in it.
