Rapid shifts is the new sustainable!
This, an investment for nearness, has to prove sustainable!
Old railway standards, as currently at TEN-T, etc., by Commission, regrettably, “cements” and obstructs – Goal of EU membership.
(Shortcomings of current railways, now used as extra on clients of the single on shore alternative, is not sustainable!)
A shift, a New Old Railway, an “equal”, now is needed! (STAX 32 should be min. “Single track” power, by overhead wires in no respect is robust, etc.)
