The investment is projected to produce over 700,000 jobs in the US according to sources. Recently, Assemblyman Jim Marchant submitted a bill in the Nevada State Legislature to fund a bill to study the viability, route, environmental impact and engineering for a high speed rail project from Las Vegas to Reno opening up the interior to development and eco tourism. With a projected $10 Billion Dollar price tab, Japan’s recent announcement may fit within the investment parameters set forth by the Prime Minister yesterday at the White House with President Trump. According to Reuters, Investing in overseas infrastructure projects dovetails with a key plank in Abe’s growth strategy, which is to export “high-quality” infrastructure technology. Japan has been stuck in a low growth death spiral for 2 decades and is eager to break out by leveraging its high technology overseas. The Japanese Prime Minister’s announcement makes the Silver Bullet Nevada project viable and a reality lawmakers are now exploring.
