Cleaner Air Well Here Is A No Brainer

I have just been discussing air pollution on another site and travel etc when it hit me .
All these governments want cleaner air , less pollution and electric cars etc .
I had to ask why the hell have we got so many lorries clogging our road system when rail is cleaner more efficient and in the long run so much cheaper .One train can pull nearly 30 to 50 goods cars rather than 30 to 50 lorries to transport the same load .It has to be far more expensive to fill up all those lorries and wear and tear than one goods train .Yes it would cost to put in the infrasructure but in a very short time would pay for itself and it would then cost less therefore making our goods cheaper .It would be a win all round .So why the hell isnt a simple thing like this that would make such a huge difference happening ?

@Ingwe Our electric power in the uk is a track running alongside the rail track they weight tons .I doubt anyone is gonna try to steal it unless they want to fry in a matter of seconds only a complete moron would try.

@Rhodesianman our train network couldn't keep replacing the stolen stuff and our powerstations lose so much money because of cable theft /they are on their knees
