It's the best transportation system in the world, and almost nobody knows about it. It's called Evacuated Tube Transport, in which compact car sized capsules filled with people and cargo are wisked through 5 foot diameter tubes at speeds ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles per hour. This is made possibly by maglev rings inside the tube which push and pull the capsules along, by attracting and repelling the magnets attached to the capsules. Also helping the propulsion, the tubes have their air removed, which means zero air and ground resistance for the capsules as they zoom through the length of the tube. It's basically "space travel on earth" so says its inventor Daryl Oster the CEO of the company ET3, which is trying to jump start Evacuated Tube Transport throughout the world. Once implemented, this will revolutionize transportation, rendering planes, trains, automobiles, and sea ships obsolete. ET3 will connect America and Asia via a tunnel underneath the Bering Strait, (just like the Chunnel under the British Channel). This will allow people and cargo to travel coast to coast in less than hour, and from New York City to Beijing in two hours. The sad part is, the technology to build this system has existed for decades, and can be constructed for a mere FOURTH of the cost of an interstate highway. So what's the hold up ? First of all for starters, Evacuated Tube Transport will meet lots of resistance, from car, plane, train, and shipping companies since this technology will put them out of business in short order, not to mention oil companies, since tube transport won't use a drop of gasoline. It should be crystal clear to the reader why multinational corporations like BP, GM, and Boeing will fight tooth and nail, to prevent Evacuated Tube Transport from getting off the ground. For a much more detailed description of this technology, visit the website www.et3.com and lets get the word out about a transportation system whose time has come.
