How does Amtrak contribute to the new conservation push?

They raise prices, naturally. This sounds like yet another attempt to sabotage Amtrak and shut it down because now more than ever we should be thinking of how to encourage more riders, not push them back into their SUVs. The wingnuts who insist that Amtrak must be profitable ignore the issue of increased drivers (and the need for more roads and regular maintenance) on the roads and increased pollution. What is the cost of that? Then again, I guess it depends on who is donating to your campaign instead of what is best for the country and the environment.
