How will MagLev change my life, other than making it easier to take trips?
A. MagLev will dramatically change the way people live in the 21st Century, with effects far beyond those associated with personal trips. First, and very important, with MagLev, people will live much farther from their work place and from city centers, while still being able to travel to them in a short time. Spreading population over a much larger area than is possible with present transport systems will greatly reduce the cost of owning a home, and allow people to enjoy nature much more. Second, sending trailer trucks by MagLev instead of on highways will cut the costs of goods, increase highway safety, reduce congestion and delays, and make the highways last much longer. Third, MagLev will greatly reduce pollution, extend oil resources and help keep oil and gas prices reasonable, and lessen the rate at which carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. This will help slow global warming.
