Who is going to pay for/build the infrastructure?
-The city and state who currently build roads and highways would build the guideways. The guideway is fast and inexpensive to construct. With the TriTracker, guideway can be extruded on site at a speed of 3 mph, and the cost is $150,000/mile. For comparison, standard highways cost upwards of 10 times that amount. -The power company would own the battery mules. With a huge infrastructure of batteries, the power company could flatten their daily demand curve, resulting in less idling time at the power plant, and thus a price reduction in the cost of all your electricity. -The cars are patent pending, and the plans for building one would be licensed out to big automotive companies like Ford, GM and Daimler-Chrysler. You would buy your own car, just like you do now, but it would cost about half as much, $10,000 on average.
