I've never liked the Maglev idea either. ICE and TGV are several times cheaper and almost as fast (320 km/h (with a potential of 350 km/h) versus 430 km/h). I'd much rather have 500 km TGV/ICE than 50 km (or whatever) Maglev.

We have a dormant TGV/ICE project in Sweden called The European Corridor. The old corrupt government never pushed it, but maybe the new one will.

I really hope it will.


Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
