Politicians, unions, construction companies, environmental groups, and other interests see this project as a resource to extract. Having it built is not aligned with that view.

Wouldn't it be nice, if journalists remembered they are supposed to ask hard questions of these people ?

Something like ... "We have internet video. Why do we need a $250 billion dollar train, built on the nations most seismically unstable ground, to talk to someone ?"
