What's sad....

is the amount of money being spent on research, construction, and maintainance of our highways when a monorail or maglev train system would be sooo much more efficient. A train has only a fraction of the wind resistance of several vehicles, and therefore uses only a fraction of the energy to move the same amount of weight. Current technologies in friction reduction such as magnetic levitation make this even more viable. Why doesn't the U.S. have a strong train system? We think it's out-dated. Yet the cities earn revenue and lower pollution using subways and trains. Hmm. Why we don't build a train from east to west that goes 300mph is beyond me. Let's continue to use our EXTREMELY expensive and inefficient roads and cars. The cost of driving our vehicles is outrageous. Forget gas prices, do you know how much taxpayers spend on roads every year?
