"It is a fight to the death between Big Oil and everybody else. Everybody else will benefit from HSR (high speed rail). It cleans up the air. It opens up all kind of new possibilities where you can live a more affordable life and get jobs further away...Everyone is going to benefit, except the oil industry, and that’s where the problem is.... There are some major changes needed to our transportation sector, which means that we need to electrify it. That will mean a whole lot of work for engineers...This is a huge project that the engineering profession needs to step up and be the leaders on. It’s not just an opportunity that means lots of jobs. It means the engineering profession gets to be front and center when solving this humongous problem that everyone looks at as almost unsolvable. It’s not unsolvable. It’s very solvable."
