Features: The most severe issue in American transportation is its excessive dependence on oil, coupled with congestion, casualties, and environmental pollution, making the entire traffic situation perilous. Most of the current so-called measures and construction plans to improve transportation are superficial, short-sighted, or have hidden agendas. The underground vacuum pipeline transportation system—“American Metro” proposed in this book—allows maglev trains to travel in an obstacle-free vacuum, with no friction, no curves or hills, no destruction of public or private property, no use of gasoline, and only a small amount of electricity. It is not affected by weather conditions. After shifting people's travel and goods transportation to this safer, faster, and more efficient underground vacuum pipeline system, traffic accidents and personal injuries will also decrease. This system combines the advantages of cars, trains, and airplanes while overcoming all their shortcomings, making it almost a perfect transportation system. America must either prepare for the arrival of the “post-petroleum era” or suffer the pain that is about to descend. This book aims to inspire people to take action in building the underground vacuum pipeline transportation system, ensuring that America's disaster does not occur.
