—”Subsurface micro-maglev delivery systems would be interesting.”
Have you been hanging around with Mr Musk, did he share his stash with you?
Ha! I used to partake, but as my screen name more than avers, just cheap beer for now.
I have had time to watch, to read, and to contemplate both history and recent developments in the way of transportation, energy, and society. I am no expert in any of those fields, but sense that gasoline-powered transportation as we know it is going to fade. My opinion is that it should, but not out of concern for the environment. It’s just that we are endowed with creativity and resources far above what we have comprehended and employed thus far.
Also, in words somewhat contrary to the spirit of FR, the use of government resources in the interest of developing cheap, safe, relable, efficient, personal transportation is not necessarily a thing to be shunned. Private resources have their limits, as the Transcontinental Railroad has borne out.
