Run the electric trains on green energy. It’s 2025. I was told 10 years ago renewables were ready and cheaper than fossil fuels. What’s taking so long? In the meantime, those really inefficient gas guzzling cars still rule.

The average speed of the NYC subway is 17mph (27km). Maglevs that went smoothly at 62mph (100km) would be a big improvement. Medium speed maglev trains are also a thing: https://crrczelc-europe.com/medium-low-speed-maglev-ch

Yes, the speed is fine but it only exists on one commercial route. Something is holding up mass adoption. Likely the cost. This sort of technology would be significant if widely adopted.

“superconductive magnetic levitation railways at 500 km/h” With the Shanghai maglev in 2001, it looked like this was a given. Instead, it’s still too expensive? Anyone predict the US still wouldn’t have a bullet train in 2025?
