Sounds awesome, and there is nothing I want to see more than a space elevator. But the safety challenges of an active structure like this seem insurmountable unless it is located in a remote area and used only for cargo. Although now that I am thinking about it, probably wouldn't be too hard to devise a safe ejection mechanism for the case of power loss.
