PING!
Just in time for my 90th birthday.
Where’s Willie Green when you need him?
ROFLMAO!!!! How do they know what the landscape, the political climate, and what it it will cost in 30 years? What idiots!! What about new technology in the interim? And $93? HaHaHaha!!! Complete and utter fools. These people sound like Climatistas—they can predict what it will be in 30 years, but cannot tell us the weather next week. What utter and complete buffoonery. Stupid fools are immune to their state of affairs, they cannot fathom and are not cognizant of their idiocy.
the hundreds of billions of dollars it would take to build this science fiction nonsense would pay for airline tickets for everyone for a hundred years that would ride this thing if it were ever built ...
and of course, the REAL problem with all such mass transit systems is the cost of a person’s local transportation on both ends, which would be WAY more expensive than the inter-city ticket price ...
Is there really a need for this Hyperloop project, other than the dubious bragging rights?
Before this project would be deemed feasible, they will have to come up with a reason someone would want to go to Chicago or Pittsburgh.
Other than taxing the “tube” what benefit does Ohio derive? A 500mph passenger container, vehicle, cork? I don’t know but whatever it is, will not be stopping in Ohio if the stated goal is Pittsburgh (depopulating) to Chicago (depopulating).
I just don’t see the upside for Ohio other than rent-seeking.
So it will be completed 19 years after global warming destroyed the planet?
OMG another Ca. High speed rail, Boston dig, another bunch of politicians friends getting rich for the next 30 years!!!
30 years makes them sound like ABSOLUTE IDIOTS.
Thanks to Kasich’s Medicaid expansion, Ohio can’t afford this boondoggle.
Near as I can research this, there is no proven workable models of this liberal wet dream. One would think they’d start small like a less than 50 mile model to work out bugs.
The next question is, is there that much people and freight traffic between Pittsburgh and Chicago to warrant this massive cost?
Both cities are liberal Hell holes. Will they still be around in 30 years? Or will they go the way of Detroit by that time?
How about safety. Ground speeds (even if in a tube) are subject to all sorts of accidents and failures. Whatever the device is that keeps the vehicle centered on on track is subject to failure.
The sheep in Ohio insist on putting people like kasich and dewine into office and don’t even wonder or care where their tax dollars go. Any trickle of education funds goes to the bureaucracy. Schools beg for levies. State lottery money that was billed as the panacea for education budget shortfalls disappears into Administrative Costs. I’m sure it’s as bad or worse in other states. Now THIS money pit shows up. I’ll keep going to the polls, but I hold my nose as I vote Independent.
Put the center or hub in Kansas.
Run lines from LA to Kansas and NY,
Seattle to Kansas to Atlanta.
NY to DC to Atlanta,
LA to SF to Seattle,
Seattle to Chicago to NY,
LA to Dallas to Atlanta.
No other stops because it would slow down the system.
Local lines up to local states and government and private parties.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
