    For futuristic transport system that will leave absolutely no carbon foot print and also use a tiny fraction of the energy used by present ones one has to think out of the box. America is a vast land mass compared to Europe so what is economically feasible in Europe will certainly fail to generate sufficient revenue to support the system in America.

    I have written a science fiction novel based on the megacity of 2080. The name of my book is MEGALOPOLIS ONE 2080 A.D. All the problems of transportation in the future cities are addressed there. Please read my book. The web site is http://www.eloquentbooks.com/MegalopolisOne2080AD.html
