As this post is being written, a feature on maglevs as the "solution"to many of our current transportation/mobility/infrastructural problems is being touted on Yahoo's home page. Unfortunately, as with the Parade article last month, it references a publication not used to dealing with either "hard science" or economic limitations.

If there's a silver lining to this issue, it is that Mr. Joe Six-Pack is finally awakening to how much will have to be accomplished, albeit at a more down-to-earth level, to address this problem. That's where relatively new avenues such as this Forum have a chance to put some positive spin on what is likely to grow into the proverbial 800-pound gorilla.
