Together we can all go solar. Crowdsourcing the energy revolution. Florida's governor Rick Scott may have effectively killed high-speed rail for his state, but several other states are clamoring for the money.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said at the Senate Appropriations Committee's Transportation and Housing and Urban Development subcommittee meeting today that he plans to reallocate the $2.4 billion in high-speed rail money to other parts of the country. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) had been hoping that LaHood would allow four Florida cities -- Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Lakeland -– to bid for the high-speed money without Scott's involvement, but LaHood categorically said that the funds will be used somewhere else.
"There is a line outside of my door of governors, senators and congressmen," he told The Hill. The Clean Energy Project.
