Description:
Wes Edens has broken ground on Brightline West, his $12 billion Las Vegas-to-SoCal railway, aided by billions from the Biden Administration. But building more high-speed lines like this one won’t be easy.<br/><br/>Under a blazing morning Las Vegas sun, billionaire Wes Edens and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg threw a party this week to mark the start of construction of Brightline West, the first private high-speed railway in the U.S., driving yellow spikes into a section of track.<br/><br/>Now comes the hard part. The $12 billion project is three years behind his original schedule — delayed by the pandemic and final environmental approvals — but if construction goes as fast as the billionaire cofounder of Fortress Investment Group promises, it'll open in time to speed travelers across the desert at 200 miles per hour from Sin City to Southern California in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.<br/><br/>“The timeline is both realistic and achievable,” Edens told Forbes. “The impact of this is going to be long-lasting and prodigious. And I want it to be successful because I want the next one and the next one and the next one to happen.”<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanohnsman/2024/04/23/in-las-vegas-a-billionaires-blueprint-for-building-bullet-trains/?sh=1884f4bb64ac<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

The best guess is that it's chilling way out there beyond Pluto, where it's super dark and icy. Some folks even think it's hiding in the distant Kuiper Belt, blending in with all those other space rocks. But hey, until we get some solid proof, it's like trying to find a needle in a cosmic haystack. Still, the hunt's on, and who knows, maybe one day we'll stumble upon our mysterious ninth planet.#brightside <br/><br/>Animation is created by Bright Side. <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ <br/><br/>Listen to Bright Side on: <br/>Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV<br/>Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Our Social Media:<br/>Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/brightside/<br/>Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/<br/>Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en<br/>Snapchat - https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960<br/><br/>Stock materials (photos, footages and other):<br/> https://www.depositphotos.com <br/>https://www.shutterstock.com <br/>https://www.eastnews.ru <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me")
