Post Carbon Fellow Anthony Perl was quoted in this article by the Associated Press published in the San Jose Mercury. The article anticipates an announcement by President Obama about an $8billion stimulus fund to develop high-speed rail in the US.
From the article:
Even experts who favor high-speed rail question whether the awards Obama will announce Thursday can turn into the job generators the administration is hoping for. Because the U.S. has never had the kind of bullet trains found in Europe and Asia, there are no U.S. engineering companies or manufacturers with experience in high-speed rail. Anthony Perl, who heads the National Research Council's panel on intercity passenger rails, said that means much of the technology will have to be purchased abroad.
