Why not replace plane travel with hyperloop? Airplanes are high polluters, pay little taxes (none on fuel) , require massive bailouts and the only US civilian airplane maker is a soon to be anachronism...
On the other hand...the infrastructure requirements for a cross coast hyperloop venture...especially if impulsed by government would resolve a lot of things...besides couldn't it be used for cargo..Amazon might be interested ...and imagine the billboard/advertising opportunities..

- f6v 5y ago> Why not replace plane travel with hyperloop? You can’t replace a reliable mode of transportation with something that doesn’t exist yet. Even when it’s ready, it’d take decades. Political powers are reluctant to commit to something that’s going to take longer than their careers. Then again, you don’t even need hyperloop. Germany has 250 km/h trains, those are more than enough for many routes.
- robin_reala 5y agoLots of countries have 330 km/h trains, and Japan is hoping to open the Chūō shinkansen within the decade, running at up to 500 km/h.
