Whatever happened to maglev? 50 years ago it was the bees knees, to liberals, and it is basically no where to be found except for a 30 km stretch in China..

Henry Ford revolutioized transportation in a matter of 20 years with the internal combustion engine, bringing a century's worth of prosperity.

Turns out maglev is great if everything, and I mean everything, works. But if there’s a momentary glitch, it stops “leving” and that looks and sounds about like you’d imagine. Picture Dino DeLaurentis filming it. Boom! Bang! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

Maglev requires either immense amounts of power or superconductors, neither of which is cheaper than wheeled railcars.

They are going to need either a lot of reactors or a lot of coal plants to generate the electricity that all of these ‘clean energy’ devices are going to need.

Grumman Aerospace, in the time nefore the merge with Northrop, had proven this could work.

I don't understand the question. What about maglev technology is "liberal?" They're more expensive to build than regular high speed trains and (with the possible exception of the technology described in this article) can't use existing track infrastructure, which has prevented them from catching on. China only started building high speed rail recently (2007) but since then they have built 28,000 miles of track traveling up to 240 mph. The US has a grand total of zero miles of high speed rail.

Maglev? And what about Monorail?

Take the rail bed lines and convert them to guide paths of low flying vehicles, not “mag lev” but flying.
