I feel like George Jetson is moving to Michigan. I just read a Treehugger article
about a new magnetic train proposed for Michigan in a Detroit to Lansing run.
It will be powered by solar and hydrogen. Wow, the Jetsons seemed so out there
when we were kids but all those far fetched ideas are becoming everyday reality;
such as talking machines, treadmill exercise machines, robotic household help,
and the visual phone. We don't have a talking dog or fly to work in our personal
jet yet but who knows, anything is possible.
The proposed magnetic train system would be built along I96 expressway. It
would stop at local exits for commuters to get off and rest stops would be open to
car traffic also. The rail construction would include fiber optic cables for multiple
communication lines.
All this is proposed to be built with private funds and powered by hydrogen and
solar power. I am not sure when this is supposed to be started but the announce-
ment alone is a glimpse into our future.
Transportation is changing and I am not surprised that Michigan will be at the
forefront of these significant changes.
Would you ride in a magnetic train if it were available to you?
