RE: Why not redesign the culture?

01/07/2009 12:48 PM

What if sustainable energy sources were used to power mag-lev trains?

Sustainable energy sources such as water power, wind power, solar photovolaic systems, geothermal, etc. It goes without saying, the free energydevices turned down by the patent office could be quite a help.

Mag-lev trains are undeniably the most efficient and safe method of transporting the masses.

When it is a fact that Earth has the resources to connect continents through their intelligent management, we begin to ask ourselves questions, don't we? What, better yet, who, is preventing us from redesigning our culture? Who has the most to lose from the gain of others?

The problem is profit and our greed will become our children's guillotine.

"Mag-lev trains are undeniably the most efficient and safe method of transporting the masses."

I would like to see the economic-financial analyses for that statement.

The masses would not even be able to afford the fast rail link we are introducing in SA unless it is heavily subsidised. A study has shown that minibus taxis are even more efficient (in the SA situation) mainly because it can reach the masses at point An and drop them off at point Bn.

Let us not even begin to discuss the huge amount of power a magnetic levitation train needs to operate. From renewable sources you say... not now and not for a long time!
