Picture this: a world where transportation cost no energy. There is no gasoline, and no alternaticve fuel source. I'm talking about a costless, zero emmissions form of transportation. The answer is simple, but putting into action will be more difficult. I'm talking about electromagnets.
Maglev trains are an example of electromagnetic powered transportation. They do not pollute and they do not rely on nonrenewable resources. I think that this technology could be applied to everyday transportation. The technology is there, we just have to apply it.
First we would replace all roads with a series of electromagnetic rails for individually owned "Maglev" cars would run on. Of course the level of planning and the actual cost of of the infrastructure is ridiculous, and quite unrealistic if it were to be attempted today. However, I'm not proposing this for today. I'm simply saying that it can be done.
