Hyperloop details from Elon Musk due Monday - The Tell - MarketWatch
In California the big government environmental left thinks that spending billions on high speed rail
is a great solution and some how a terrific alternative to a 60 minute flight. The cost estimates
run from $75 billion (if you ask them) to $200 billion (if you ask the opponents) and considering the
bay bridge cost more then 2x what it was suppose too and the high speed train is suppose to take
20-30 years to build I'd guess the critics probably are right.
Then you get a guy like this Telsa Motors dude who comes along and says he has a better answer.
Of course we dont' know what the answer is yet - I am looking forward to 1;30 PM PST to find out.
But I'm just curious if the path towards a big wasteful govt program is already set - can it be
changed? How? What would we need to do? Diane Fiensteins' hubby is planning on making
millions on high speed rail - he's already made millions in Afganistan but that is winding down so
this is his new cash cow. That's hard to beat.
