I spit my coffee when you mentioned USSR railroad nationalization. Perfect timing. Keep it coming.

Kevin Brown

Awesome video, Alan!! Looking forward to the nationalization video too. Have you ever read Richard White's "Railroaded"? It gets into the terrible politics around the transnational railroad companies, land grants, and labor in the 19th century. Highly recommend. https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393342376

I'll definitely put that on my reading list!

NY Times coming in 24 hours behind Alan with this piece. Glad these ideas are reaching a wider audience.

Toward the end of this video you directed people to a 3 hour video on electrification that you did with some other guys. You were their resident wonk :). In the referral you said the video would also talk about why hydrogen won't work. I sat through the entire the 3 hour video and caught a few sentences about hydrogen at the end with no reference to any detail. Can you direct me toward anything you have produced on hydrogen? Thanks, love your stuff, you have really invested in the detail of getting passenger really moving. Jeff Lohrmann

I'll have to do a video on hydrogen based power in the near future, its on my list
