    What you consider “normal” isn’t exactly normal. This isn’t the 1800s.

    Umm you know that trains take energy to run right? The energy doesn’t come out of thin air. Most trains either run off diesel fuel which is dirty as hell or they run off electric and that energy is usually from burning fossil fuels.

    So your suggestion is “don’t use this one method of transportation that burns fossil fuels, use this other method of transportation that takes longer and still burns fossil fuels!”

    Really great argument you have there! 🤦‍♂️
