Modi: A Force Of Nature



Elon Musk's Hyperloop And India

Narendra Modi is all taken by bullet trains and for good reason. But he should not overlook Elon Musk's Hyperloop. It is cheaper, faster and, get this, it runs on solar.

I have talked of all of Bihar being one big city. The Hyperloop would turn all of India into one big city. I mean, if you are moving at 900 miles per hour! That is an hour (less) to get from Delhi to Mumbai. You could live in one city and work in another. You could live anywhere in Uttar Pradesh and commute to Delhi for work.

Hyperloop connections between the diamond cities Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata would be a great idea. It would turn all of India into one big city for real.

The Hyperloop takes urban design to a whole new level. The city need not be one big crowded cluster. It can be vastly dispersed.

Beijing to Delhi is three hours by Hyperloop. I guess no more war! It is hard to go to war with people you see all the time.
