Actually, while a lot of people try to claim that, very few trains are
that efficient. Most UK trains, for example, are *more* polluting, when
you take electrical generation and coal use into account.

I wonder how -they- handle the fly ash problem from burning coal?

"They" don't count. they're poor, and don't live in really huge cities.

Basically, that's the attitude of many folks in the world...

I assume "they" in this case is the UK? In which case we do more or
less what the US does with it's fly ash - use it in concrete, road
building, cement and so on. It's not rocket science to use inert
minerals.

Although what living in cities has to do with fly ash I'm not
sure......
