$100 billion? Maybe it's in there somewhere, but I didn't see the projected ridership for this. At 10,000 riders each day for 10,000 days, ($10^11/10^8) that's $1000 per rider-trip.
Even neglecting interest, maintenance and fueling, and the optimism, that's pricey.
How, for example, does that $100B compare to taking one lane of existing pavement to move a 'train' of CPU-coupled, road-powered electric vehicles at half that (250mph) speed?
