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.

_negotiations-on-global-treaty-to-end-plastic-pollution-reach-critical-phase.webp "Negotiations on Global Treaty , to End Plastic Pollution , Reach Critical Phase .<br/>'The Independent' reports that negotiators from around <br/>the world have met to discuss what could become <br/>a global treaty meant to end plastic pollution. .<br/>The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on <br/>Plastic Pollution has begun agreeing on treaty language <br/>at their fourth of five scheduled plastics summits.<br/>The most ambitious and contentious<br/>idea revolves around limiting how much <br/>plastic can be manufactured globally.<br/>As most plastics are made from fossil fuels <br/>and chemicals, oil and gas exporters <br/>have strongly objected to the limitations, along <br/>with plastic-producing countries and companies.<br/>According to Stewart Harris, an industry spokesperson <br/>with the International Council of Chemical Associations, <br/>the treaty also focuses on recycling and reuse. .<br/>We want to see the treaty <br/>completed. We want to work <br/>with the governments on <br/>implementing it. The private <br/>sector has a role to play,Stewart Harris, an industry spokesperson <br/>with the International Council of Chemical <br/>Associations, via 'The Independent'.<br/>'The Independent' reports that the Scientists’ <br/>Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty provided <br/>scientific evidence on plastic pollution at <br/>the negotiations.<br/>I heard yesterday that there’s <br/>no data on microplastics, <br/>which is verifiably false: <br/>21,000 publications on micro and <br/>nanoplastics have been published, Bethanie Carney Almroth, an ecotoxicology professor at Sweden's University of Gothenburg who co-leads the coalition, via 'The Independent'.<br/>Ecuador's chief negotiator, Walter Schuldt stressed that <br/>countries present at the negotiation share a common <br/>vision of moving forward in the treaty process.<br/>Because at the end of the day, <br/>we’re talking about the survival <br/>of the future of life, not only <br/>of human life but all sorts <br/>of life on this planet, Walter Schuldt, Ecuador's chief <br/>negotiator, via 'The Independent'")
